<font color="#888888"></font></blockquote></div><br>It's one of the reasons to HAVE a Bar-Ilan Teshuvos project in the first place! <br><br>But ascribing this to me is silly. Beis Yosef, kaf hachahim, ROY and others use a simlar technique. But pershaps the greatest example in Ashknenaz is the monumentl encyclopedic Darchei Teshuva on YD. But even Pischei Teshuva and Sha'arei Teshuva do this, too.<br>
<br>I don't understsand how a criticms of X can create an entire pgeonhole characterizaiotn or extrapolation of a person's OWN methodology. It is indeed quie silly. I am merely pointeing out that many ashkenazic 20th cnetury posqim will tangentially throw in a shita as a given as if it wer a kayma lan that all concur when as am atter of fact the issue is in serious dispute. I find it annoying at times because the less educated reder will be easily bamboozled.<br>
<br>As far as any single methodlogy, voting by Bar-Ilan CD-ROM might e A method but it is not MY METHOD. All I am asking is that posqim subject themselvs to ANY objeective method so that their own egos will not allow them to come u pwith highly subjective deicions that would tilt Halachah agaisnt heir own philosophy when they "feel" it is rght.<br>
<br>lehavdil, Mario Cuomo opposed the death penalty. He was aksed well what if HIS sister had been brutally raped? And he responded that is why law should be dispasionate and objective and not about personal emotions. <br>
<br>It would seemto me that those sho subscribe to the Mussar schoold would realize that even Gedolim have egos, and it is best that if they are being dan yechidi [as opposed to sitting in a BD] that they submit themselves to a metholodgy that would serve as a check and balance.<br>
<br>That is THE only thing I can be pinpointed on so far. The call for a more obejctive system of ps'ak. BY subjected himself. A pretty good example. But the Ga'onim came up with a about 2 pages of rules on how to pasqen. Objective rules for psaq are not new at all. They are quite traditional. <br>
