I should have recalled that R' Shimon Shkop has a similar answer,
but different in a hashkafically significant way. Shaarei Yosher vol I,
Shaar haSefeiqos pereq 7 ("VeNir'eh") writes that sevara alone is enough
to create a chiyuv. The seikhel commits to following Qol Hashem, and
the seikhel also commits to be careful about what chazal and our other
rabbanim warn us about.
