My point is don’t look at the material with ideas and expectations of who you expect that page to say. First learn it through throughly and see what the page ACTUALY says. Then once you see why the page says you start asking questions. Do you know that the way the chasm sofer and others (even when they knew it all) learned is that they pretended they were looking at it for the first time. A lot of mistakes and misconceptions occur because we think we know something and therefore we expect the page to say something and then when the page doesn’t say what we expect we get confused. The Daf Gemara is correct now you have to figure out why it says things that don’t fit according to what you expected.
