Why We Can't (and Shouldn't) Edit the Text of Davening (Part 2)

In this evening's tefilah shiur (11/18/21) we set out to answer the two questions we raised last time: (1) Why can't/shouldn't we change the scientifically inaccurate parts of tefilah to make them more accurate? (2) Why can't/shouldn't we change the text of tefilah in general? After a brief recap of Part 1, we learned FOUR answers to the first question, while also resolving a major NEW problem that came up in the process. I had actually prepared a fifth answer which I forgot about, so we'll have to save that for next time, along with at least a partial answer for the second question.
