This is the cry of the Maharal. People think his main point was the Mishna of Ben Asor, but his main point is actually that there is no Yedi’as Hatorah. He says that in one or two years someone with no background in Torah can be up to par with any Lamdan. I’ve seen this myself. The Maharal actually says exactly what OnTheBall said earlier, that knowing how doesn’t make you a Talmid Chacham. I was really surprised to see someone question that. Like a Maggid Shiur of mind once said, being able to steal doesn’t make you a thief.
In Beis Hatalmud the idea was that the people in America should see the depth of Torah. That served its purpose by now, even if it justifies the extremely slow pace. It is really sad because in the end there is no Kinyan. They don’t end up really knowing those ten Bletter, either. They just have some famous Chaqiros floating in the head. So now we all know that a Migui is either a Raaya or a Koach Hataana, and there’s a Siba and Simman, and Umdena Shaft Nisht Ah Kinyan. Now what?
Bochurim don’t really relate to all that anyhow, which is why they cannot be tested. The thing is that there is something between what’s called Iyun and Bekius. That is what Chazal call Mareh Panim. Rashi explains that to mean giving a reason to everything. The funny thing is that while getting all heated up about how the Rashba in this Sugya relates to the famous Reb Akiva Eiger in Kesubos, there is little focus on the flow and Svara of the Gemara. What should be emphasised is how much everything actually makes sense. The point in learning is to adapt your mind to that of the Torah. That is done by making sure you agree to what it says.
