Commentary for Menachot 32:26

ועד כאן לא קא אמרי רבנן התם אלא דלא חישב ביה בכוליה מתיר אבל הכא דחישב ביה בכוליה מתיר ה"נ דפגיל

And it was established that they differ concerning half the mattir!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., whether a wrongful intention expressed during the service of half the mattir can invalidate the offering or not; and here the cutting of the first organ is, as it were, but half the mattir. Now the mattir here spoken of, namely the slaughtering, is not an absolute mattir since it does not render aught permissible, and yet the Sages differ with R. Meir and hold that the wrongful intention in regard to half the mattir is of no consequence; contra Raba's interpretation of R. Johanan.');">²⁰</span>
