Not I
I am for both Iyun and Bekius. Both are necessary. However learning a few Blatt an entire winter zman produces zilch. You think you know 2-3. Blatt cold, what you don’t know is that half the questions you had and spent your day trying to figure out and half of your “chiddushim” and “mehalchim” are Gemoras later on in the Mesechta. Its impossible to really learn Iyun without Bekiyus. I had a Rebbi in Beis Medrash who said that technically we should really have learned minimum the first 40 Blatt of the Mesechta during the previous Bein Hazmanim so that when the zman comes we can learn real Iyun. What people call Iyun today is…I don’t even know what to call it. I have spoken to Bochurim who after an entire zman learning Kodshim don’t even know what Pigul is!!!! I don’t care how many Brisker Ravs you read through you wasted your time!
People don’t know the basics and want to jump into Iyun and Lomdus. Its one of those situations where one isn’t sure if they should laugh or cry. The system in yeshivos and Bais Medrashim is broken. Guys aren’t moving forward, at most they are like someone treading water. They are expending a lot of effort but going nowhere.
