PAA, I am honored. I saw your kashya while it was up, and it was a nice ????, but I still like the other one better.
I don’t think the ???”? ???? is asking on ??? ?’ ?????? per se; there are a few gemaras which use the idea, and he only asks here.
Here, each ??? referred to his own experience, and ??? ?’ ??????, in that context, only makes sense if it’s a ????, not as a ??????.
