After 120 years we will be farhered on the Torah we KNOW. Not on how clever a Shtickle Torah we can give (even assuming that it’s not contradicted by an open Mishna that some ‘lamdanim’ will never even glance at), not on how ‘tief’ we can understand a Reb Baruch Ber, but on what we actually know – the Torah knowledge we have amassed. In halacha the definition of a talmid chacham (regarding issues like being exempt from paying municipal taxes) is someone who has bekius in MOST OF SHAS – that means knowing it thoroughly, not that you once gave a knak chaburo on it.
