[Avodah] How can R' Yochanan and Resh Lakish argue about the tradition of a Gezera Shava?

[Marty Bluke]

The Gemara in Makos(14b) has a dispute between R' Yochanan and Resh Lakish
which revolves around a gezera shava. R' Yochanan has the gezera shava and
Resh Lakish does not, Rashi explains that Resh Lakish did not get this
gezera shava from his rebbeim.

This seems very difficult because the gemara in Bava Metzia (84a) describes
how Resh Lakish was the head of a group of bandits and R' Yochanan
persuaded hm to learn Torah and was clearly Rabo Muvhak. In fact, they were
so close that after Resh Lakish's death, R' Yochanan lost his mind and
died. Given this, how can it be that R' Yochanan had a gezera shava and
Resh Lakish didn't because lo kiblu merabo, R' Yochanan was his Rebbe so
why wouldn't R' Yochanan have taught him this gezera shava? R' Yochanan
clearly had a kabbala on this gezera shava so why wouldn't his talmid
muvhak Resh Lakish have gotten this kabbala from his rebbe? The answer
can't be that Resh Lakish argued on this because gezera shava's are a
kabbala from your rebbe, period.
