(Yeah, I'm still a bit behind)
Rabbi Yehudah, in the Mishnah, says one thing about trapping [animals on shabbat], and Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel says something a bit different and lays down a general principle.
Later, Shmuel says yup, the halacha follows the general principle of R' Shimon ben Gamliel. And Abbaye says ok, well, does that mean everyone else disagrees with him? and Shmuel says what the heck does it matter? the halacha is the halacha, why do you need to ask irrelevant questions?
Gemara gomer v'zomarta t'hei? says Abbaye - the halacha is a song? you're just going to repeat it mindlessly?
