Is the disagreement among Hadith scholars limited to discrediting or accrediting a narrator, or does it also include the continuity of the narration and the narrator's tadlis (deception), such that they do not differ on the discontinuity of a single Hadith?

scholars differ regarding the continuity of narration. Those who affirm that a narrator heard directly from his shaykh consider the hadith to be continuous, while those who do not affirm this consider it to be disconnected. This leads to the rejection or acceptance of the hadith, consequently resulting in differences among jurists. Scholars also differ concerning tadlis (concealment), and their views vary on the extent to which reports from mudallisun (narrators who practice concealment) are accepted, depending on their ranks and methodologies.
