Interjection: 75:1. The problem with the position is that none of the Poskim read it Kipshuto. Saying that a Tefach above the elbow is allowed is a complete Da’as Yachid opinion.
Iced: You, once again, miss the point. I did not say that the position was right. It did not say that it wasn’t against everyone else. I did call it a Da’as Yachid. However, the position does have a legitimate Makor in Halachah. Quoting other, majority, more legitimate opinions does not make this one less legitimate. It means that others cannot follow is L’ma’aseh, but it also means that a Rav who is a Bar Hachi of having a position has a right to say it. I think the Shulchan Aruch proves that point fairly well. You proved that we don’t hold like that position. That’s fine. I wasn’t arguing that. Your claim was that the position is indefensible. I defended it.
