[Avodah] Klalei horaah

[Rich, Joel]

Another interesting question to me based on this Rosh is where did he get this distinction from (e.g. is there anything in the Talmud that hints at differences such as these given that they lived in different cities - were there any indications of specialization).  Did he have a mesora or was he just wrestling with why the split decision in this case of authorities?)

How is then that Rav did not recognize that Shmuel was greater in certain areas and the opposite?

I was shown that the Rosh (BK 4:4) says the opposite of what I suggested, namely, that the Chachmei HaGemara paskened like Shmuel b'dinei and like Rav b'issurei because they recognized that these areas were each their fields of expertise, in that they spent more time involved with them and hence were more able to be m'dakdek and yored l'omek hasugya.
