The founder’s dilemma is rarely about "right vs. wrong." It is almost always about "scope vs. intent." You have a policy, a contract, or a product feature set. You know the spirit of the rule, but you are paralyzed by the edge cases. Do you interpret your constraints broadly to protect the downside, or narrowly to preserve the upside?

In Chullin 67, the Sages grapple with the exact same architecture of decision-making. When the Torah defines what is "kosher" in the waters, it uses a linguistic pattern: Generalization, Detail, Generalization. The Gemara asks: Does this pattern include the "pits, ditches, and caves" where fish live, or does it exclude them?
