1. I definitely hear where you are coming from. What can I say, my rav holds ein kavanaso is only good when your intention is to remove the issur, what you cite b’sheim R’ Akiva Eiger and you mention is the minority opinion. The psik reishe d’lo nicha leih vort sounds very interesting though, I’ll ask him. My question about it is this: if you’re willing to say that, bear in mind that l’halacha every berya is batel mid’oraisa chad b’trei, so if I had a case where I don’t want to eat it would you say that it’s mutar to eat the ta’aruvos because of p’sik reishe d’lo nicha leih? Furthermore, the Ran (in Chullin or AZ, sorry I don’t have my Gemara in front of me) says mefurash that R’ Shimon is matir p’sik reishe everywhere besides for Shabbos (and yes, Tosafos in Bameh Madlikin by the shaatnez case clearly argues). Would you say that according to him bitul is always mutar by ein kavanaso, even if it’s efshar b’inyan acher? I’m not saying not, I’m just thinking aloud.

2. Reason for ein mevatlin: You remember correctly; my rav goes like the Rashba.

3. Safek bitul: I asked him today and he is matir if it isn’t matzuy.

4. Shitas HaRaavad: I might have a very interesting thing to say about that, but I need to check it up first. Will post tomorrow bl”n.
