(a) The Mishnah in Me'ilah writes that, once the Nesachim have gone down to the Shitin, they are no longer subject to Me'ilah. We initially think that the author of this Mishnah must be Rebbi Elazar b'Rebbi Tzadok.
How might even the Rabbanan agree, that, in spite of the fact that, in their opinion, the wine went right down to the depths of the earth, Me'ilah might still be applicable?

(b) On the other hand, since, according to Rebbi Elazar b'Rebbi Tzadok, the wine is still obtainable, why should Me'ilah *not* apply to it?

How do others explain the difference?
