arcane symbolism and pseudo-physics That's actually pretty close to how I usually tend to view our Texts. ;))
As you like to say on occasions, come back revisit r. Akiba in couple years. :)
There's a curious angle considering cited authorities. Note that we've brought into the discussion several opinions, more than we usually do, and of most of them a single line (or two) fits in, but the rest of the page seems either incorrect or unclear. But when I tried to render in a single line a "holistic" opinion of a piece of commentary, that inevitably involved oversimplification, usually negative-sounding. So, instead, there may be a nice way to rearrange and put together short citations from these rabbis that seem ok as is; but they would sound mutually incompatible, so they would naturally form a structure of a quasi-argument. - Which may end up looking just as Gemara typically does(!)
