I submitted a question yesterday about the order of Monoach and Gidon in the Rashi above.
I found that there is a Rashi in Maseches Zevochim Daf 16a that also brings these 3 together and this time the order is correct chronologically ie Gidon,Monoach,Shmuel so why did Rashi change his order in the Sugya here

I found in Mishmar ha'Levi on Bechoros (by Rav Moshe Mordechai Shulzinger zt'l) that somebody once asked this question to Rav Shach who replied that the Gemara in Eruvin 46a is applicable here. The Gemara states, "If we would be Medayek so much, we would never learn anything." Rashi explains that if we would learn the whole of Shas making such Diyukim we would not be able to answer all the questions, and we would not go viter.
