Rabbi A. Miller spent years giving shiurim that went through all of
Shas. He was not deterred by topics that some might feel should not
be discussed in public due to their "delicate" nature.
However, there were times when he did skip some topics. He would
say, "I cannot teach what I do not understand, so now turn the page
to ......" IIRC some of the topics that he skipped were
the Gemara's discussion of Zugos and discussions like the one referred
to
about demons.<br>
