R' MB and R' JK put forward interesting arguments. A point occurred to me
but I have no idea if it's correct. When did it become common for people to
write halachah seforim on a single topic? It may just be too late at night,
but I can't think of a single example offhand. Is it possible that the CC's
pioneering look at Lashon Hara was not only that he pioneered looking at
it, but that he was a pioneer of what we would call today (in Lakewood, at
least), "specializing in a miktzo'a"?
