rebE- “We find a similar idea in the placing of the mezuza. There is an argument between Rashi and Tosfas whether to place it horizantilly or verticaly, so we compromise and place it slented, satisfying both or neither.”
This silly line of yours has become my pet peeve on this website. For the zillionth time, you are wrong. The gemara says you cannot place the mezuzah like the bolt/nail of a carpenter. If placed like that, it is possul. It is a machlokes Rashi and Tosfos whether that means horizontally or vertically. In order to avoid both shittos of the psul, we place it on a diagonal. It is not, for the flipping zillionth time, a compromise. ENOUGH
