<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. The gemara in horiyot 2b describes ben zoma as a talmid raui lhoraah. The commentaries discuss why he never got smicha even though there was none like him in torah. The beer sheva says it's because he died young.. Is anyone aware of a source that someone would not be eligible for smicha, even thought he was gamir vsavir (knows and can use logic to apply) simply due to age? If so, how did "harei ani kben shivim shanah" work for an 18 year old?</FONT></P>
