==== Mountain Uprooter ====
One of the sages in the study hall heard about this and was concerned that Rabban Gamliel might be embarrassed. He sat near the entrance of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel's house and studied Tractate Uktzin aloud. Rabban Gamliel understood from this that there was some issue in the study hall regarding this topic and began studying the tractate. Thus, when Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Natan asked him the questions about the tractate, he knew how to respond.

After this incident, the Gemara relates that Rabban Gamliel and the Rabbis disagreed about who is preferable - a "Sinai" or a "mountain uprooter." The Rebbe investigates which of them held the position of "Sinai" (breadth of knowledge) and which held the position of "mountain uprooter" (depth of analysis).

At first glance, it would seem from this incident that Rabbi Meir had the quality of "Sinai," as he was well-versed in Tractate Uktzin, and as implied by the simple understanding of the Gemara that he didn't specifically study the tractate at that time in order to question him. Meanwhile, Rabban Gamliel had more of the quality of a "mountain uprooter" and lacked the quality of a "Sinai," as he didn't know one tractate.
