Avira,
Every single rishon, acharon, and posek has said many things that don’t seem to fit with various gemaras. This is the bulk of pilpulim from theory down to halacha in Shach and Taz and shu”t.
They discuss certain ideas, ask that seemingly it doesn’t fit with certain pesukim, mishnayos, or Gemaros, and then they explain in a clear fashion how it all fits beautifully.
If you were to only learn the maskanos of every sugya, you will have many questions. “How did he reach this conclusion? There are so many gemaros that argue!” This would be ridiculous. Of course you have know idea how it all fits without reading the actual sugya.
The same is with the Rebbe. His seforim are no different than the rest of Torah shebaal peh.
If you read those sichos, you’ll see how according to the Rambam and others you understood the Gemara wrong, and there is another way to understand it.
Unfortunately, your hate blinds your derech halimud and you would rather assume that it is unfathomable for the Gemara to be explained any other way, and you are so “sure” of this, that you refuse to see his explanation. This is called burying your head in the sand.
