I don't understand this last sentence.

We are talking about grounding the duty to obey a derabbanan. If we say
that in some circumstance that duty is itself derabbanan, haven't we
reached circular reasoning?

IOW, if there is no chiyuv de'oraisa to resist tei'avon to obey a
derabbanan, then how could the chakhamim create the meta-chiyuv in a
way that we would be duty-bound to obey? The meta-chuyuv too is versus
to'eivah, not rebellion.


Did RMA give part 2 of the shiur yet?

Tir'u baTov!
