"Obscure"? It's a gemara!

:                               The Rambam is clear about taking midrashim
: literally (he doesn't). So take that idea, his silence in Hilchot Milachim
: regarding MbY, and I come to the conclusion that the Rambam doesn't hold
: that one has to believe that this person will ever come.

But he is silent in a list of things he tells you not to take for granted!
That's a reverse sense. As I said, I could argue this either way, and
therefore the absence from that list signifies nothing.

:-)BBii!
