Rav Schwab changed his mind during his life time. See TIDE - A Second 
View that I have posted at 
http://www.stevens.edu/golem/llevine/rsrh/tide_second_view.pdf

In the end he did not think that TIDE was Horaas Shaah.

I simply do not understand how anyone can decide something as 
important as TIDE being or not being Horaas Shaah without having read 
a fair amount of the writings of RSRH.
