From the first Mishnah in brachos read simply, one would think that when he reads krias Shima by maariv he fullfils the mitzvah. Rashi comes and says that “we” who daven early are not fulfilling the mitzvah rather we are yotze with krias shma sheal hamita. So why do we read shma by maariv, he brings a yerushalmi that explains – to stand up to davening – shmoneh esre – from divrai Torah. Tosfos has many questions on Rashi and explains different.
Point being is that everyone realizes that you can’t conclude a halacha from learning a Mishnah simply.
How much more so with chassidus which is penimius hatorah,
(Those who think chassidus is just a dress code or a “matzav” to feel a part of, Does it make sense to say the baal hatanya or kedushas Levi or the hundreds of the other chavraya kadisha went to the mazritcher magid to learn a dress code??!!)
