-1000.... (there is not enough space for all of the zeros) and I discussed this with him personally many times.
Not sure where you got that from. That is about as far from what is happening as can possibly be the case.
That’s what he wrote in מעייני שלמה IIRC. I’ll have to double check.

But it happens to be that it absolutely is the same old tumult including who held what.
This is false. There was no focus on a specific creature with empirical evidence at that point.

This is false.
There is much truth to it.

I also have 2000 years of psak halacha saying they are mutar.

This is an incorrect claim that was made with no evidence to back it up that I have seen.

What evidence is present that that actually happened?
Generally one people say something happened the onus is on them to prove it.

I am sure that "some" did, but I was heavily involved at the time and to say that it was dismissed by the matirim is categorically false. I had personally presented volumes of scientific evidence about it to many who you are referring to as matirim. Any impression being given that it was dismissed without a careful consideration of the metzius is simply untrue from my first hand experience.

I am aware of his article. There is ZERO evidence of any change in the facts.
Change in what facts?
The Anasakis was being discussed directly back then? What’s the evidence for that?
Etc. etc. :)

If you are saying that something was different please bring something to back it up other than some theories. You want to say something changed then back that up.

1. Does it make a difference what the name was if the metzius is the same?
2. Just look in R Vaye's sefer and you will see it discussed.

It is possible that he changed his mind, but I had numerous personal conversations with him.

The first hand account of the discussion that I saw as being discussed with Rav Moshe was a general science verse Talmud discussion. Not a what’s the Halacha with Talmudic recognized ידים מוכיחות discussion.

You know how he works.
 I only know from what he’s written there. He advises avoiding wild salmon specifically over other types of fish for some chap that he came up with which I don’t remember off hand.

Someone is making a killing.
that's not normal for Jewish stores. Simply look at all the YT flyers.

I can't answer for your account, but I personally discussed it with people who were part of that discussion who said they brought numerous scientific papers to discuss many aspects of this and R Moshe said that it was a waste for him to see it since it doesn't change the halacha.

Either way, this is guaranteed to be an endless discussion as it has been for about 13 years since I did all this research.


So I think I will just end it here.

Yes. I had the discussion with him in Toronto :)

Not if he refused to see what they had to show. if the evidence could have possibly changed his mind then why would he refuse to see it?

Because at that point it was a general lifecycle discussion which directly contradicted the Talmud. That’s is different than a direct discussion about a specific creature with empirical evidence. That’s no different than other similar discussions in the achronim.
