[Avodah] eye pains on shabbat

[Joseph C. Kaplan]

RJR adds to RMB's possible understanding of nishtaneh hatevah the following:

"4. For the non-philosophical types, something changed , I don't really know or care what, as long as it allows me to not have cognitive dissonance (I'd say this is the one most contemporary observant Jews assume)"

I would add a no. 5:

5.  For just some regular, average MO types, nothing has changed, since we believe that scientific or medical statements by great Jewish scholars of the past may be, in some cases, simply wrong.  And I'd say that this is what many (who knows about "most") contemporary MO Jews believe.
