Rabbi Meir
Question
Focusing on the issue itself and not on the person is excellent advice for life, but what about the prohibition against learning Torah from an unworthy person, for example? Can we too "eat the inside and throw away the peel"? Are there any indications of how wise Rabbi Meir was, which helped him be careful?
Answer
Yes. From an IQ of 136 and a height of 1.73 meters it is permitted, and until then it is forbidden.
