But isn't it a matter of interpretation and fences? The command states we are not to boil a kid in its mother's milk - kid referring to a baby goat. But our sages wanted to make sure no one would violate the law and created a fence - no animal, be it goat or cow or even chicken (?). Then another sage added a new fence - keep dishes separated so meat does not even come close to contact with dairy... and the fences kept developing until you have what it is now. Same goes for Shabbat from the work involved to kindling a fire to flipping a switch to turn on a light or pushing an elevator button.LOL! This really derails the thread. It's a question of authority. The Torah states the dairy/meat prohibition three time, hence it was taken very seriously by our Sages(in position of authority) and that's the end of the story for us.
