2 pedantic quibbles

1 Big quibble
The issur predates Rabbah! AIUI Rabbah makes no gzeira at all - rather
he gives his rationale for the pre-existing g'zeira. The Talmud does
buy that Rationale!

> carry either 4 amot in reshut harabim or between reshut hayachid and
> reshut harabim

2 smaller quibble:
That is Rambam's spin about reshus hayachid

However, Tosafos is more literal and says 4 amos in reshus harabbim
