[Avodah] Dancing on Shabbos

[Rich, Joel]

I am asserting that halakhah doesn't take a boolean either-or.

And unless you accept that, you're going to continuously complain that
there is no compliance to a process. There is a process, but it involves
weighing both.

Nor is it "touchy feely" nor "greater good". It's a well informed notion
of ratzon haBorei.

Tir'u baTov!

------------------------------
Which of course means the baalei mesorah have tremendous flexibility
(hat tip- R'YBS).  The cognitive dissonance comes when the answer is
"sorry, my hands are tied" rather than "here's why I don't think the
ratzon haborei is served"

Secondary question then - why would we necessarily feel that
intellectual acuity is the best barometer of divining the ratzon
haborei?
