Commentary for Chullin 230:39

אי הכי תיתי במה הצד

Said R'Mordecai to R'Ashi: We have learnt the following on the authority of R'Simeon B'Lakish: An inference drawn from cases with common features can be refuted only by those [cases] and not by other [cases].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., the refutation must be in the nature of a peculiar characteristic possessed by the cases that determine the common features and which is absent from the case proposed to be inferred from the common features - e.g. the demonstration of a special characteristic peculiar to 'orlah and to leaven during Passover but absent from flesh cooked in milk would indeed be a valid refutation. It is, however, no refutation of the argument by adducing cases wherein the common features are not found, for such an argument, as here the case of nebelah, is irrelevant.');">²⁴</span>
