[Avodah] Mesora only through Rashi

[Saul Guberman via Avodah]

AIUI the MN "was all that you needed to study".  Are you/RGS saying that
this is only as a codifier?  RAMBAM did not feel that he was passing on the
mesorah? In the end, it does not matter what he wrote, RASHI vs RAMBAM, you
must have RASHI, RAMBAM is nice but without RASHI you come to a dead end?
