Comment Post #276840 @Alaychem you are correct in a non-wine drinking context. If a person is drinking a new glass of wine that requires a *borei pri hagafen*, and they fulfill all the requirements, they would make **instead** *hatov vehameitiv**. That's why I see it as an upgrade.

Question Creation of Tag synonyms
There are a bunch of new tags being added, and many of them are synonyms of each other. This happens because some people put a tag of "prayer" and some put the Hebrew word "tefillah" or the Yiddish word "davening". Could there be a way to equate all of these tags, or similar such situations?

Comment Post #276744 That's not called a contradiction. That's called a reassessment.

Comment Post #276744 I'm aware that they're antonyms. Your question is assuming that Rav Miller still felt they were good when he called them wicked. Why are you assuming that.

Comment Post #276744 I don't see what's the contradiction...You're asking how Rav Miller *could be proven wrong*? He said they would be good, but in his mind proved to not be good. I wouldn't call that a contradiction...just a reassessment

Comment Post #276717 Does it make a practical difference if it's aggadic or halachic? So you can say אין משיבין על ההגדה? Or אין למדין מן האגדות? If it's codified in Shulchan Aruch or elsewhere, even though it's aggadic, what would you call that (see [here](https://judaism.stackexchange.com/q/78444/1739))?
