I fail to follow the logic here. His failing to mention the CI's position
causes it not to exist?

Aren't we forced to say that the real poshut p'shat in the Ramban is that
the Ramban doesn't hold there's a mitzvah do eat peiros sheviis? This would
explain, both the Seridie Aish as well as the CI. Furthermore, in a previous
post you agreed, after reading the Ramban inside, that "poshut pshat" is not
so poshut after all. I.E. You were able to see both interpretations as
fitting with the words.
