Explanation: Egyptian Karaim are presumably descended from Jews; they
may have converted people over the years, but we have no basis for
assuming that such converts were so many that they can create a real
safek about any individual in their community (even though "kol kavua
kemechtza al mechtza", and especially now that they've moved to EY).
But the Crimean Karaim speak a Turkic language, and are presumably
primarily descended from converts that the Karaim made, who are of course
not Jewish at all.
