<div dir="ltr"><<I am actually happier with the possibility that QvC isn't standard logic.<br>
It is listed among middos shehatorah nidreshes bahen, and rules of<br>
logic that were well known in Chazal's day -- such as Aristotle's study<br>
of syllogisms -- are not. The question of why QvC is derashah and not<br>
sevara has bothered me.<br>
<br>
And if so, then asking what justifies QvC is like asking what justifies<br>
kelal uperat -- the Author told us the system works that way. It's not<br>
a priori logic, it's a posited rule of the system.>><br><br>However, the gemara does learn halachot from logic. The most famous being<br>not killing someone to save one's life because who knows that your blood<br>
is redder than him.<br><br>On the second question does the gemara learn anywhere the 13 rules of R. Yishmael<br>(or other opinions) or is this all halacha le-moshe mi-sinai (machloket in that?)<br><br>kol tuv<br>
