Commentary for Chullin 146:18

נשחטה בהמה הוכשרו בדמיה דברי ר"מ

- From this [last Mishnah] I might have thought that 'rendered susceptible' referred only to the [loose] flesh.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' But not to a complete limb that was hanging loose. In the latter case it might be held by R. Meir that the limb is itself a source of uncleanness, and as such does not require to be rendered susceptible by moistening, inasmuch as at the slaughtering it was accounted as detached; it was therefore necessary for R. Johanan to teach that all agree that the limb is itself clean, for at the slaughtering the limb is not accounted as detached.');">¹¹</span>
