MUDDLED MOTIVATIONS

[11a top] Rashba: Although normally even unrequired signatures become an actual part of a document itself [see Daf#4], if these unrequired signatures were clearly non-Jewish names, they do not have any possibility to cause problems later on with the document. This is because those signers are so far removed from having anything to do with the specifically religious Jewish document that they have no bearing at all on the contract.
R’ Rosner: It is like the difference between calling someone an “invalidated witness” versus not being able to be called a proper “witness” at all.

D-E-ep Thoughts: Sometimes we get so lost in this world and we end up comparing apples and oranges. Our Yetzer Haras always try to sneak in rationalizations for us to violate clear prohibitions. We must always remain crystal clear in our focus on spirituality and never get confused about what has absolutely no place in our lives.
