Reply To: Does Yichus Matter?

Yichus is more of an indicator of the maalos the person may have, rather than a real maaleh itself. Who is more likely to know shas backwards and forwards–Rav Moshe’s son, or some random guy’s son? Clearly the former. but if you faher them both then what matters is who really knows it better, and who should’ve known it better doesn’t really matter much at that point, does it.
