Avodah begins in the morning until evening. A fresh start, which is the natural cycle (ראה כוונות ר”ה הבאה אחרי עבודת אלול)

While it is categorically clear that the unquantifiable genius and brilliance of the Rogatchover is unmatched by scholars of generations bygone, this beautiful story highlights the supra-rational power of a Rebbe which can not be replicated or imitated by even the greatest Talmudist.

Accordingly, Reb Berel, a devout Chosid and Mekushar to his Rebbe knew, that if the Rebbe had left a question unanswered, it would be humanly impossible to provide any answer.

Such is the implication that the young bochur had ‘stumped’ the Rogatchover.
