I honestly think that TUM731 is indicative of them problems that come up when people apply Lomdus to practical Halachah too much. The fact is, the Rishonim were incredibly clear with everything they said. And while the current mode of learning might respect the ability to find a way to prove that a Rishon really meant the exact opposite of the words he said, when we get down to the Aliba D’hilchasa aspect of the Sugyos, we have to understand that the Rishonim’s Shittos are, well, the Rishonim’s Shittos.
