Let’s say Reuven knew all the computer programming languages: basic, c++, XML, whatever they all are- this guy knows them.
Now you show him a certain computer game and Reuven explains to you how the programming works.
Is it more mestaber that Reuven deconstructed the program and came up with some rules that seem to fit into the Logic of the programming?
Or is it more likely that since Reuven knows the programming he probably called on his profound computer knowledge to explain how the programs works and if you too would be a computer programmer the Loops, Ifs, Else, etc.’s that Reuven is describing would make more sense to you too?
There are a number of times that Chaza”l demonstrate their ability to create. On the Gemarah in Sanhedrin 67b “Rav Chaninah and Rav Oshiya, every erev Shabbos they toiled in hilchos Yetzira and created a three year old calf…” Rashi there says “…through combining the letters of Hashem that the world was created with…”
In other Rashi is explaining that they knew the programming language.
But the mishnah in Chagigah 11b says not to be doresh maaseh bereishis and maaseh merkavah in front of two and one people respectively ie. they have to hide the sod. So when they wanted to teach a certain inyan in nistar let’s say they hid it in the common yediya of their times that the earth was flat and the sun hid above the rakiya. And I don’t think that this is sheker because it must be that on some ruchniyusdig madreigah something like this occurs.
But when it was noygeah l’mayseh for instance by avodah zara (41a) they clearly spelled out that the earth was round and therefore a depiction of a person holding a globe is avodah zara. Although I am confident that there too is also deeper inyanim.
