אימר דאמר ר' נתן ביד ברגל מי אמר אלא דאי משכחנא תנא דשרי כר"ש אישרייה אפי' בשתייה

But say that R. Natan declared [it prohibited] when touched by the hand, but did he say so [when it was touched] by his leg! Rather [must he have thought to himself], “If I find a teacher who permits like R. Shimon, then I will permit it even for drinking.”
