FWIW, finding the root of a machloqes to be about metzius seems pretty
common in the Y-mi. One might say they are arguing about when one is
chosheid for certain cases, like maybe there is a deep machloqes about how
to define the word "norm" to apply to the metzi'us. I had this thought,
but haven't (yet) invested the time to see if it's viable.
