Avira, I think you misunderstood my comment, btw. I was kidding, and figured that was obvious. It’s a name that no knew heard on Yeshiva, but is overrepresented by some, in order to paint the Ikkrim as debatable.

I’ve heard other shallow academics claim that the Arizal disagreed with the Ikkrim. This is extreme nonsense.

You must have heard the story of the researcher who announced that the Chasam Sofer had Asthma. He found this out because in a Teshuva, he writes לא השבתי מפני קוצר רוח ועבודה קשה.
