But you didn't ask the question. You asserted that what I said was "not
true". Since the Maharshal and Avodas haMelekh said it, and I don't know
of a dissenting interpreter of the Rambam, I would assume it is indeed
true. This was a bit of a hasty judgement on your part.

But you said a great question, and worth exploring. Doesn't change that
the Rambam apparently does hold what I said he did:
