Sam2 i think my explaination does work here, because if you maliciously break my arm then i am pasuul from the avoda until my arm heals it makes sense that at that time i am not Rauii to do the avoda because i am injured and cannot carry out the duties of the avoda the way they are meant to be carried out. just like if i would be a runner in the Boston Marathon, and i broke my leg the day before, i can no longer run. Its not the Marathon’s fault that i cannot run, The rules are not “mean” because they exclude injured or handicapped people, It is just a matter of circumstance. my explaination was simply that its not appropriate or helpful to apply our western views of political correctness to a Torahdik concept.
