That's like citing C citing pruzbul as a source. It's not just a "can
over-turn Halachah" it's the when and why.


But I would have thought we would actually be on the same side on the
issue of dancing on Shabbos.

The aggadists would find a tzad heter for dancing, since it aids in the
feeling of Shabbos.

Since mimetically most Jews do dance, you as a minhag avos supporter
Should have equal reason to rely on the da'as yachidim of Tosafos or the
implication of the Y-mi.

Overturning norm to be loyal to the books was something you decried
earlier in this thread. What's the difference here?

Tir'u baTov!
