[Avodah] [Areivim] Halacha of speeding/Jewish ethics curriculum development help

[Rich, Joel]

He argues that halakhah is similarly best transmitted by creating "native speakers". It is only due to loss of our progressive loss of the Sinai culture with each generation that we need to rely on transmitting codified rules. However, the rules are limited compared to Torah and the mind.
Mind goes beyond algorithm. What's captured is not the complete picture; we're missing the equivalent of what "sounds right" and the limits of "poetic license".

We are kachamorim (perhaps: more chomer, this being the Gra's general pisgam for "chamor" in aggadita) because we don't have reactions based in as much of the Sinai culture. However, because of that, we rely more on sevarah, on formal thought, which can not capture as much of the truth, but did push us to develop those skills.

================================================================

Yes, but the problem (at least in my limited mind), is when we try to look back to a time period that was more based on "sounds right" and deduce what algorithm they used.  Now if we were 100% accurate in these attempts, we'd replicate their results and have a great set of  algorithms to use for new cases.  My observation is that our attempts (throughout the generations) have been yielding less than 100% accuracy and we then use a fudge factor.  The accumulation of fudge factors over time has yielded a system which is communicated to the masses as objective algorithm driven but when they look at it more closely they realize there's quite a bit of subjective fudge factor.
