Particularly RD#1 should suffice, so why RD#2?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I dont follow your argument - RY remained unconvinced until he was reminded by R Akiva of his own Pesak Atem Atem Atem. ONLY THEN was he convinced that BNY would not be desecrating YK.</div></blockquote>
</div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Very simple. Note that the interpretation of R' Aqiva to which RY responded Aqiva ni'hamtani, ni'hamtani, well, that interpretation does not occur in the Mishna. In fact, as I argued in my previous mail, it occured after RY left R' Dossa, having heard his two arguments.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Hence, RY was already going, alas with a heavy heart, to fulfil RG's command. Thus, one presumes that there is a progressive difference between the different approaches that he was presented with in the account of the Mishna, and that he was somehow more convinced by RD #2 than RD #1, which again was more convincing than RA #1. And yet, according to you, RY should have picked up and gone (alas with heavy heart, as this is all before RA #2) after RA #1 or at least after RD #1.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Note to readers who have no clue what RA #1, RD #1, RD #2 and RA #2 are, just check my previous mail. They are the three successive argument in the mishna, as well as R' Aqiva's argument that figures in the Gemara but not in the Mishna.<br>
