Abaye and Rava each found support for their respective positions in a br aita - Abaye from the first sentence and Rava from the se cond . How does each Sage address the proof cited by the other?

The Gemara raises difficulties with this case: perhaps the C uti is merely tricking the Jew, or perhaps C utim do not hold that one must slaughter birds at all, as the requirement is not explicitly written in the Torah. The Sages resolve the latter difficulty by explaining that C utim accepted the laws of shechita upon themselves; therefore, they can be trusted even regarding details not explicitly stated in the Torah, including all the ways in which a slaughter can be disqualified.

A Tosefta is brought to further support Rava's position, but it is subsequently rejected. The Gemara e…
