midwesterner > But you will me mal’ig a significant chazal due to lack of empirical evidence?
Chazal often uprooted/disproved other chazal when there was an evidence that previous policies failed (different ways of organizing schools, for example). It is legitimate to _suggest_ that certain takonos can not be changed as we do not have courts as great as before, but claiming that chazal do not care about evidence s is lashon hara on chazal.
Not that GH brought any evidence, I tried to substantiate his claim, see ^
