What I mean by my question is:
We know there are different ways to tie tzitzit; this can mean the way the knots are tied (i.e. the wraps between each knot) or the amount of knots.
So, to the author of each shita, do they consider their way to be miakev to the mitzvah, i.e., a necessary component to completing the mitzvah, or would they agree that the other ways still fulfill the mitzvah but not the best way possible?
