DY: Yes, but that’s a concept in Halachah. That’s what a Snif Lehakel is. They’re not iron-clad. They’re not even worth holding by on their own. The way Rav Schachter explains the concept is let’s say there’s a 30% chance that any of these six reasons is right. That means that there is a .7^6 chance that it is actually Assur. Hence, by combining the reasons Lehakel, we can end up assuming that there is a strong likelihood that it’s Muttar.
