Efraim Liebman, Yoni Lerner asked:
How could Rabi Yosi and Reb Shimon ben Gamliel have this conversation about Rabi Yehuda while Rabi Yehudah was in the room eating? Isn't that disrespectful to Rabi Yehudah?

The Kollel replies:
Initially, I was inclined to agree with you. However, what proof is there that the discussion took place within ear-shot of Rebbi Yehudah?
