I do not know if that claim was made on this list. The nearest I recall was my
asking whether precedent set before AIH was an option would still apply. I did
not intend my "I don't know if" to be taken as an assertion that the pesaqim
that permitted shaving down the 7 neqi'im definidently didn't apply and that
the heter could not be invoked in favor of AIH.

Not did I notice anyone answering this question with a more recent (post AIH)
teshuvah.

So, as far as I know, the people hear are mesupaqim, not assuming anything of
the sort.
