23a: Prohibiting On the Basis of Event
There is an interesting mini-discussion on this amud about prohibitions based on maaseh she-hayah: how broad should they be, or how narrowly defined? It is an interesting problem: if we are concerned about specific things happening, and we are building fences to prevent such things, how much do we prohibit? I can't, right this moment, think of any good contemporary examples of this problem, but I'm sure some bright reader/contributor will come up with one.

I'm stuck on finding a kazeit of a corpse in the boat -- was that really that common of an occurrence? If so, we might have a bigger problem here.
