According to Rabbi Yochanan there are five rabbis who all hold that when there is a contradiction between the way the text is read/pronounced and the way it is written, we follow the way it is pronounced.  Each case where is it said is brought and explained.  Then the gemara questions whether or not anyone holds differently than that – doesn’t everyone follow the pronunciation (proof from cooking milk in meat – it is read as milk – chalev – and not forbidden fat – cheilev).  This assumption is disproven and a different explanation is brought to explain why everyone agrees in the milk/meat verse.
