Avira,

The Rebbe clearly mentioned the ?”? several times in the footnotes of the ??? ?? sicha (see footnotes 30, 31. Also see 18).

The Rebbe is not arguing with the ?”? or the ???”?, since he does not say that kavanah is unnecessary, rather that it is not ???? ??? ????? (aside from unique cases).

“or was not aware of it”

The Rebbe was aware of the ???”? about ????, and he quotes it several times.

For example:

1) In a letter to Rav Avrohom Chaim Noeh in 5712 (????? ???? ??? ? ?’ ?? ?”?, also in ????? ????? ??? ?? ?’ 500).

2) ????? ????? ??? ?? ?’ 140 footnotes 5, 12, 46 (over there the Rebbe give a lengthy ???”? regarding the reason why the Mechaber brings the ???? ?????? for mitzvas sukka.)
