Inspection of fig stems

הגדרה (אנגלית)

By extension: inspection of minute details. Asked many questions for the sake of fundamental clarification of the subject (literally: the fig stem is the tail of the fruit that connects it to the tree).

("Anyone who increases checks, this is praiseworthy action, and Ben Zakkai inspected fig stems. And what is the difference between inquiries and checks?" - Sanhedrin 5b).
