“I didn’t bring up the possibility of a microscope. But there is no fundamental difference between a microscope and a simple magnifying glass — both are simply ground glass lenses. Neither were available to Chazal. And neither were light tables. If you start allowing technological advances to change halachah, ein l’dvar sof.”
No one is referring to items that are not ???? ?????. And That is to the naked eye. However, does that mean we should not use implements that make it easier to check quicker and in greater volumes? Is that your position? Because we are not talking about using science or technological advanced to change ???? in these cases, no matter how much you would like to assert that.
And your comments are ironic, to say the least, considering how you have in the past posted positions that are very much the opposite in regards to science and existing ????.
I do not know what you base your assumptions on that ???? did not check for ??????. My father has often told me about him remembering his father and mother painstakingly checking vegetables and flour for infestation. And my father in law ??? continued his father’s ????? of not eating unpeeled vegetables. And these are not recent changes. These are practices they grew up with in their houses in Europe.
Do you think they did not filter their water? They used filter all of it just to make it drinkable. These claims about people not checking in past generations is untrue about those who kept ????. It’s just a specious argument.
