: wedding hall, etc.).

1- If true Toraso Umenaso can bow out of Shema, a deOraisa, or at least
minimize Shema, why not -- by parallel -- allow a kollelnik to get back
to seder faster with a heicher qedushah?

2- I recall my father saying besheim RYBS that heicher qedushah is only
an option when there is so little time before sheqiah that the sha"tz
couldn't possibly repeat shemoneh esrei before nightfall.

Yes, this is the line at which most people say the first two berakhos
with the shat"tz before the heicher qedushah. According to RYBS, that's
the only way to do it; the notion of repeating the first two berakhos
after qedushah simply isn't in his system.
