Questiion:

What if this concept of RYBS is a product of his fertule imagination
and really has no roots in the traditional way this concept has been
understood and passed down?

Or iow is this chidush or shinuy?

Or is this a legit seyag letorah - or CV more akin to an "aish zoro"
iow doing it because it feels right but is not what the halacha is
requesting us to do?

There are no easy answers.

But when I rely on tiime-tested tradition or a large cross-sectuon of
poskim my batting avg. Usually goes up.
