Li-aniyus daati - GESHMAK!
The Darkei Kinyanim and Darkei Hakodesh that were quoted [and humbly - it seems] refuted were penned by the great Rav Amiel.
It is a huge kavod and zchus to bring Rav Amiel back to life and make his lips move in the kever as we learn and analyze his Torah.
After all is said and done - the author of the article is a nothing [if I may take the liberty of telling it like it is with the knowledge that the author (me) is 100 percent mochel] while Rav Ameil was a Gaon Olam. That being said - read the article and come to your own conclusions...
