Gavra:
The p’shat given by PAA, which you say is similar to the one you favor, does not mean that certain people should not learn full-time (for at least some period of time), only that they should not learn in a certain way.
No one really believes that the entire nation is meant to learn in
kollel full-time while their wives work and/or somebody supports them, do they? If that is indeed the mindset of the system, then something is presumably wrong.
