DEFECTIVE DECLARATIONS

[82a top] Gemarah: We need to make sure that there is not a situation in which we have to rely upon the signatures/testimonies of two related witnesses.
R’ Rosner [quoting GM’ Baba Basra]: Even Moshe and Aharon (possibly the two greatest most respectable people in our history)  would not be relied upon if they came to testify together.

D-E-ep Thoughts: No matter what the truth is, if we do not have Halachically acceptable standards to receive the information, it is not good enough to enforce. However, this should not be upsetting for anyone in the least. If things happen certain ways [because of a lack of proper testimony (or any other reasons)], we must know it is because Hashem willed it those certain ways. G-d is always in full control while running the show and He uses many various means to bring about what is destined to be.
