The answer would also depend on the gadol. A gadol who doesn't place much
weight in mimeticism, eg the Gra, would find many more examples. In contrast
to the AhS, whose chiddushim are nearly always, if not always, finding ways
to justify a community's accepted practice in the meqoros. Even if it takes
a diyuq or new peshat in a maqor no one had made in print until now.
