Quoting%20commentary for Shevuot 42:5

שבועה שלא אוכל ואכל כל שהוא חייב כו': איבעיא להו ר"ע בכל התורה כולה כר"ש ס"ל דמחייב במשהו דתניא ר"ש אומר כל שהוא למכות ולא אמרו כזית אלא לענין קרבן

Come and hear: THEY SAID TO R. AKIBA: WHERE DO WE FIND THAT HE WHO EATS A MINUTE QUANTITY IS LIABLE, THAT THIS ONE SHOULD BE LIABLE? And if it is so [that he agrees with R. Simeon elsewhere also], let him answer them: agree in the whole Torah with R. Simeon? - [It is possible that] he is replying according to the views of the Rabbis themselves: As for me, I agree with R. Simeon in the whole Torah; but as for you, agree with me at least that, since if he expressly states [a minute quantity] he is liable, he should be liable also if his statement is undefined. And the Rabbis replied to him: No!
