“The point emphasized (that’s what quotation marks are for) was that it’s not only that the RY is an anav, but that he has reached the peak of anavah, the tip of the blade of modesty, the “shpitz” itself.” exactly, so how does that cheapen it? is it because he said it in a yeshivish way that it automatically cheapens it? if a person takes any dvraim shbkedusha and talks about it while sounding yeshivish that automatically turns it into meaningless yeshivishe hock? or no, thats just the way that the yeshivishe world speaks and he isnt cheapening anything by saying it like that, hes just talking as he normally would
