I’m not so sure that: ?????? ???? ???? ???? ????

Torah Shel Baal Peh is not about trying to figure out what Hashem was really thinking. It’s the other way around. Hashem quotes the Chachamim. The Torah Shebichsav is the seeds and Torah Shel Baal Peh is brought out and created by the Chachamim, as the Medrash quotes Rebbi Akiva.

By a usual Halachic discussion we don’t say this one is right and that one is wrong. But there are times that they did. That is not “?????”, that is ????? or ??? ??? ???? or ???? ???? or ?????????. There we don’t apply Eilu Va’eilu (unless you explain it like Rabbi Miller, that the intention is pure and it is Torah).
