What about doreish el hameisim?
Even the Kitzur SA warns us NOT to address the dead at a cemetery -
according to you why not?

Not ALL returns to fundamentals all wrong, inacurate or arrogant,. Plenty of
mis-understandings DO creep in to the fray.

It is the highly persnikketty investigators who often dig up the original
intent of a given passage.  The struggle for truth includes higher levels of
accuracy and better definition of fuzzy concepts.

After all the Talmud is replete with hair-splits.
