May 12, 2020 at 17:35 comment added interested @AvrohomYitzchok I agree but I really wanted to make a different point. That if goyim would also make on learning they would make a better job. I have just read from meforshai hootsar rabbi chrysler, saying 81/16 is 4 and half when it is 5.0625. here In Eruvin (82b) it connotes that there are nine meals in [bread made from] a Kav [of wheat], and in Eruvin (80b) it connotes that there are 18 Grogeros in two meals. (A Kav is 16 Reviyos, and it is nine meals, which is 81 Grogeros, so there are four and a half Grogeros in a Revi'is.)
May 12, 2020 at 17:30 comment added interested @robev Which one doesnt? Tosfos yomtov. The pri megodim for a start although he calls him something else. Maybe meir nesiv. I like this. The r'shash on menochos bring a meforash who brings a posuk. The r'shash says he got the posuk wrong because he copied it from concordance who got it wrong.
May 12, 2020 at 17:05 comment added robev @interested which poskim use the concordance?
May 12, 2020 at 16:55 comment added Avrohom Yitzchok @interested "The concordance"? There are many - also written by Jews. Moreover you can't use the concordance as a proof to learning.

Added some precise info
May 12, 2020 at 15:20 comment added Dr. Shmuel There have been non-Jews who has the ability to locate any Tosafos within a split second, but alas, they were not god fearing, and only possessed a powerful memory.
May 12, 2020 at 10:05 comment added interested The concordance was written by a non-Jew and is used by all poskim. It is better than the r'dak who wrote something similar for reasons too long to explain here. Basically Jewish writers of seforim are not the best for us.
