Responsa for Chullin 17:24
א"ל אביי
Now does it not mean the time taken to examine the organs [of the throat]? - Abaye replied: No; thus did R'Johanan say: It means the time taken for the Sage to examine [the knife].
Shut min haShamayim
They responded: the halacha is well known - "A slaughtered animal is presumed to be kosher" (Chullin 9a:8), and "We do not presume things to be prohibited" (Rif Chullin 18a:4). Yet all who are stringent regarding the lungs will merit to sit in the Heavenly Yeshiva.
