The View of the ‘Beit Yishai’ on Talmudic Interpretive Reframings

Question

Hello!
Rabbi Fischer, in ‘Beit Yishai,’ argues that the interpretive reframings of the sages of the Talmud are essentially an elegant way of disagreeing with earlier generations. So even though it is “forbidden (?) to disagree,” they would reinterpret the words of the earlier authorities so as not to appear to be disagreeing. And so too the way the Amoraim relate to the Mishnah, the medieval authorities (Rishonim) to the Amoraim, the later authorities (Acharonim) to the medieval authorities…
This seems extremely strange and bizarre to me.
What is the Rabbi’s opinion? And what really is the meaning of the forced interpretive reframings in the Talmud?
