Can you give me a reason for why i should follow my rebbe against the majority of the rishonim? (btw the Shulchan Aruch also paskens people should work)
Also I am sorry I came off arrogant, I was simply surprised that people when offering opinions on this subject don’t look at the tradtional sources. Rambam, Rashi & Rabbeinu Yonah are the 3 major commentaries on Avos one finds when they open up any Avos in a set of Shas so I’m offering advice to people that before offering an opinion on something they should look at the sources.
Additionaly I think if you’d ask any Posek or for that matter any person whos learned in yeshiva for a while- whos opinion holds more weight: the Rambam, Rashis, Rabbeinu Yonahs or the 2nd opinion in the Meiri I have no doubt they’ll answer the former
