He explained to me that the za’ah is the injection of blood with the intention of reaching a specific place above the sikra thread or below the sikra tassel on the outer altar.
In desecration on Yom Kippur, at the golden altar inside, how do you recognize it again? How does it reach the altar’s foundation? This is a discussion of desecration.
Specifically, in the hallucinations on the Kafurah that need to be up and down, there is no imaginary Sikra thread in the coffin and the Kafurah, but rather how the blood is thrown up or down, and this is one flick up with the finger, throwing it up, and not necessarily that the blood will reach any higher. And the 7 flicks below are the same movement with the finger, only reversed downwards, and again not necessarily that it will reach any lower.
 
So this zaah refers to the place where the blood reaches
And this whipping refers to the movement of the High Priest
 
Is he right?

I didn’t understand a word.

Whipping in the language of the sages can be downward as in Hebrew, but also whipping upwards, unlike Hebrew.
The expression whipping is the precision of the action of how and how the blood injection is done and not where the blood reaches.
Haza' is the precision of where the blood reaches.
And he did not intend to whip except as a whipper when he entered the turban.
There is 1 above the turban and 7 below.
After all, there is no sikra thread of any kind, where it is above the turban and where below, and indeed it does not matter where the blood reaches, but how it throws the blood.
Therefore, the action is whipping 1 with the finger upwards and 7 whipping with the finger downwards.

The rest of the blood injections in the Temple are aimed at reaching a precise place above or below the turban, and therefore they are za'at and not whippings.

Really?

Whipping (=throwing) also has a target, but it is really less precise. Thus writes Maimonides, Acts of Sacrifice 5:8.

Apparently the Rabbi meant the act of sacrifice, 12
