Ta-Shema vs. Meisevei

Mark Bergman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked:

On the subject of syntax, I have long wondered the following point:
After a machlokes Amoraim, the Gemoro often tries to bring a support to one
side (which is a Kashe to the other side) from a Baraisa etc.  Sometimes the
Gemoro introduces this with "To Sh'ma" and sometimes with "Meisivei".   Is
there any pattern/rule to when each is used?

The Kollel replies:

The general rule is that the Gemara uses "Ta Shema" when there is
*question* which is being resolved. "Meisevei" is used when presenting a
question on an already accepted rule or opinion. 

However, the Sefarim of the "Kelalei ha'Shas" (such as Sefer Kerisus, Yad
Malachi, Halichos Olam etc.) cite many cases in which the terms are
interchanged. It seems that there indeed is no steadfast rule. (See for
example Sukah 10b. It would be enlightening to see the Girsa of the
Dikdukei Sofrim in all of the exceptions.)
