See TB Brachos re: brachah acharonah on rice
And then see the RIF.

You could learn it both ways

Strict construction:
Talmud says "vlav klum" and means it zero zip nada.

Or the "how do we no Yaakov avinu wore a Yarmulka school" - meaning
since we cannot conceive [cognitive dissonance] that Hazal left a whole
so we'll plug with our own assumptions.

EG See Bach on O"Ch 46 Tur cites that H"anosein laya'eif koach" stems
from "siddurei Ashkenaz". Bach apparently cannot accept that premise
and posits that the brachah is in that part of the Talmud that got lost
somehow [iow a girsa problem]

And I guess we can now extrapolate to use this approach re: Birkas ner
Shabbos that Rav Amram Gaon had it in in HIS g'mara, but the Maggid
Mishnah failed to note that.

IOW ein l'davar sof...
