[Avodah] a troubling halacha

>>Okay, here's my guess: Could it be  that this halacha is based on the 
presumption that people would prefer to  observe the relatively easy halachos of 
delayed information, and that they did  not want to observe the relatively 
difficult halachos of timely  information?

If so, then the next question is: What changed? Why do we  prefer the full 
burden of the timely-information halachos? It can't be because  of the general 
trend towards stricter halachos, can it?<<

Perhaps it was because premature death was so common that people would  have 
been constantly sitting shiva for parents, sibling and r'l children in the  
old days.
