I'm not sure about such disclaimers on the Gra's talmidim's writings,
aside from Maaseh Rav.

And if so, lo kol shekein in our case! Here we have the author of Shemiras
haLashon -- someone known for thinking about what he said -- calling
the MB "beiuri", "od tzarafti" "ki bo biarti", "upo hir'eisi", and "kol
eileh chbarti..." on the title page. How can one argue he didn't oversee
the entire work and checked the content? Nothing about parts being by

Tir'u baTov!
