Pcoz: Let’s say there’s a Machlokes in the Gemara about what an Amora actually said. You can’t say they both happened. They didn’t. (I feel like there’s a Gemara that references this exact point. Two people swore about what Rebbe said so one had to be wrong. Am I imagining this? If anyone remembers that Gemara please point it out.) As Itche said, since we can’t be Machria in any way we have to treat both possibilities as possibly correct (hence a sort-of Eilu V’eilu), but in this type of case it’s clear that they can’t both be true, Mah She’ein Kein when someone is Darshaning a Passuk.
