The phrase "a truly idiotic svara" is quite inappropriate; Sha'arei
Teshuvah is citing Kenesses Ha'Gedolah (OH 461 Hagahos BY s.v.
anu nohagin):

Rav Benveniste states that he heard this episode in his youth, and that
the "sages of the city" instituted a prohibition, and that this is the
custom "until today".

Sha'arei Teshuvah does quote Peri Hadash who rejects this.
