“this little nugget gets trotted out every now and again when it’s completely irrelevant to today’s professional world.”
“this little nugget” is an actual Rambam, and hardly “completely irrelevant”.
Any other “little nuggets” you can think of that are “completely irrelevant”? My friend prints Seforim. Perhaps I can suggest all those “little nuggets” in Rambam that are “completely irrelevant to today’s professional world” be expunged from future prints.
