comment Comparrison of Tefillin to the Beis HaMikdash
My own idea but I owe the approach to all the academic Judiacs that I've been reading lately. @Yehoshua, it does but the answer is sociological rather than halachic

comment Why are these tractates, “Yeshivish Mesechtos”?
@Jake You answered your own question. They were more popular because they contained central sugyos, specifically central sugyos related to practical halacha

comment Why are these tractates, “Yeshivish Mesechtos”?
Regarding your first bullet point, I always thought the causality was the other way around: there are more sefarim on these mesechtos because they are studied by more people

comment Modern Hebrew/Yiddish Names
Mendel. Zalmen. Berel. Chaim. Shalom. I think the Rav Kanievsky's psak is political rather than halachic and should be marked off-topic.

I believe you have a misplaced citation. The gemara about eishet manoach is in Bava Mayseh 35b. :)
