[Avodah] Sephardi-ism: some food for thought

[Rich, Joel]

No, this is not bari veshema.  It's not a personal financial dispute
between R Reuven and R Shimon.  R Reuven has paskened that what you want
to do is forbidden; but you speculate that perhaps he did so because he
wasn't sure.  Even if your speculation is correct, he was presumably
aware of R Shimon's reasons for permitting, and nonetheless decided not
to.  So if you have a rule to follow his psakim then you must be
machmir.  At most, what you have is not a safek but a sfek sfeka.

What if your rule is to follow his psak when he is sure but not when he
is msupak?
