"Es hatai ani mazkir"

I always pooh-poohed learning Hilchos sh'chita as a waste of time for
most rabbinical students. [Especially when NOT learning hilchos treifos
with it.]

Many rabbanim insisted that it taught the student fundamental elements
of p'saq

B"H I have become enlightened [the hard way] and I see that a number of
POLICIES are embedded in hilchos sh'chita.

EG Talmudic Halachah requires no "s'micha" or "Qabbalah" for sh'chita,
but Ashkenazic practice DOES!

It is simple to see how that gets extended to formal hashgachah for
many areas of Kashrus - especially when chemicals have made the industry
highly sophisticated.
