The popular tradition has it - that R Shimon Bar Yohai passed away on Lag Ba'Omer.
Yom Shmeit Rashby
A great Torah Scholar claimed this is a defective girsa and that a Heith is missing
And it should actually read: "Yom SIMCHAT Rashb"y"
Who is this "radical textual critic" LOL?
Why
it is Rav Yoseh Chaim, author of the Ben Ish Chai - in his Da'at
uT'vunah! You never know who will fix a problematic girsa with
hagahah!

But what would the unspecified simchah of Rashbi be? I am not sure the word difference changes the intent.
OTOH, the Chida did not believe Rashbi's yahrzeit is Lag baOmer.
if i remember correctly AH says it's the day he left the cave
