As I wrote, that depends how you understand his use of "reshai" rather
than "tzarikh or "chayav".

Yes, but the Noam Avimelekh, alive when the switch happened, would have
only justified the switch to people who actually gain by having the
opportunity to have those qabbailstic thoughts.

Which gets back to the original topic -- when does kavanah and saying
what you would like to say to your Creator override inherited nusach?

Tir'u baTov!
