Major Question:
How could one be permitted to eat when it uncertain he recites the proper Bracha. It is a ספק איסור so one should not be all to continue eating unless he recites a Bracha?
If the obligation to recite a Bracha Rishona is based on the סברא that one may not benefit from this world without reciting a Bracha.
Is a non-jew obligated to recite a Bracha?
How is a בעל קרי permitted to eat without reciting a Bracha?
How is a פועל permitted to eat without reciting a Bracha?
The גמרא דף נא עמ’ ב entertains that if one forgot to recites a Bracha Rishona perhaps he can recite one even after he finished eating.
If the whole reason one has to recite a Bracha Rishona is because אסור ליהנות מעולם הזה בלי ברכה how would reciting the Bracha after he finished eating help, he already ate without a Bracha?
