Responsa for Chullin 215:16
אמר ליה
Mar Zutra the son of R'Mari said to Rabina: Let us consider: Rab in this statement of his evidently follows the view of R'Judah, who holds that homogeneous substances can never neutralize each other; but must we say that he disagrees with Raba?

Q. A drop of milk fell upon the outside of a boiling pot of meat. The volume of the pot and its contents was more than sixty times that of the milk. Are the contents of the pot as well as the pot itself fit for use?
A. In France I witnessed a great controversy over this matter. But, at the time, I failed to inquire into the reasons of both those who permitted and those who forbade the use of the pot and its contents. I also discovered that Ri forbade the use of the pot and its contents, probably for the reason that the drop of milk first rendered the pot unfit for use, and the pot, in turn, rendered its contents unfit for use.
