We begin today's daf with a comment about one who follows both Beit Shammai, generally more stringent, and Beit Hillel, generally more lenient. "The fool walks in darkness", it says in Ecclesiastes (2:14). Instead we should choose one school and follow its leniencies and stringencies. This continues today - we are not supposed to turn to different rabbis when the opinion of our rabbi is too stringent or too lenient compared with what we want to hear. The bulk of today's daf discusses the positioning of different parts of esophageal anatomy to determine when a slaughter is permitted.
