Brochos Daf 13

The Rambam holds that one will be yotzei even if he is "korey l'hagiya" (reading to check if all the letters are there).
The Gemora 13a rules clearly that he will not be yotzei.
Rabbeinu Yonah above stated that the machlokes of mitzvos tzrichos kavanah only applies by mitzvos with a maaseh; not if it's only amirah.
This is problematic from the Gemora 13a.
Rav Elyashiv's pshat in the sugya.
