Anyusername: “Btw isnt someone that twists the words of chazal an “am haaretz”? Meaning he doesnt know how to learn which is why he’s twisting them?”
No, I don’t think so. Someone who misinterprets the words of Chazal because he doesn’t understand them we might call an am haaretz. But someone who twists the words of Chazal to come up with a result they want for their own personal reasons is closer to an apikorus.
