Could RRW interpret his own post, please? I was under the impression that he 
explained what full, actualized, practical qabalat 'ol mitzvot means, 
precisely because he did *not* want to suggest that qabalat 'ol mitzvot is 
merely theorethical.

I am sure that you can see the difference between someone who'se ignorance or 
ta'avah may bring him to grab some cholent out of the pot without watching 
out whether thereby he is also transgressing hilkhot bishul beShabbat, and 
someone whose expected ta'avah will include not resisting regularly opening 
his business on Shabbat, so far so, that it wasn't even closed during his 
very first month being Jewish.

Kol tuv,
