Also the usual expression in Chazal for "both opinions" is Elu VeElu אלו ואלו (these [words] and these [words] ...), and since that was not said here it makes more sense that he is only referring to one opinion that made sense to him the most.

Re: your understanding of REBA's statement, I'd like to suggest a la the commentator's disagreement about whether he confirms R. Yehoshua or R. Eliezer's opinion, that he is coming to say, that BOTH of these opinions "hein hein" were actually conveyed to Moshe at Sinai (maybe less intuitive with the Tosefta's girsa).  Several students of the Ramban's school posit that some arguments are inherently part of the tradition and not like the Rambam or Geonim who say that disagreements result from forgetting the tradition.</p> Thanks for your materials, I give a shiur in Yerushalmi Peah and I find your website very valuable.  Let me know when the book is coming out, I will be sure to buy a copy.

But you can buy <a href="http://www.hendrickson.com/html/product/36422.trade.html" rel="nofollow">Jacob Neusner's translation</a>, which covers the whole Tosefta. However, it's really dry so I am not sure how much will be understandable from it to someone who does not already know what the particular Tosefta is talking about. Not for free on the internet.

However in some editions the numbering system is different and there chapter 5 is split into 2 chapters, thus creating chapters 5 and 6, and then chapter 6 is called chapter 7. But the content is exactly the same, only the numbers are different. You can download my edition of the whole Masechta Berachot on this website <a href="http://www.toseftaonline.org/english_translation/tosefta_berachot_first_edition_final.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a>. If you want to see an edition of Masechta Berachot that uses 7 chapters numbering system you can download the Tosefta Cheshek Shlomo <a href="http://www.hebrewbooks.org/22555" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
