Interesting debate which reminds me of what R' Asher Weiss said about
being a posek - Sometimes a posek must just use his best judgment
(svarat halev, hargashat halev) and it's hard to draw a clear line
between logic, emotions, intuition and thoughts. The posek needs a lot
of siyata d'shmaya.

BTW, iirc the gemara sites halacha lmaaseh as being the best source
(i.e. it was not just taught in the beit medrash but resulted from an
actual situation and psak).  If so, how do those who favor the MB over
the AH"S explain it?
