Micha:
«Unless not every use of the word "gezeirah" doesn't refer to gezeiros in the technical, Mamrim 2:2, sense of the word. As in this case,»
 
No! The Mamrim case is: 
A Special
B very limitted in usage to a very narrow defintion
C problematic, the Rambam's model is sui generiis
D yotzei dofen
E terminology has been disregarded by posqim such as
    + MB
    + SA harav
    + Magen Avraham
    + Rema
    + M'chabeir
    + Rambam!

So questioning my highly common ubiquitous use in favor of an
exceptional narrow use was the original problem in the thread that led
to misunderstandings galore!

I used g'zeira exactly as Rambam himslelf uses in 3 places outside of Mamrim
Viz.
    1 haqdama to MT
    2 Haqdama to Mishneh
    3 Hilchot hametz uMatzah

RSO - I cannot believe that anyone saw my usage as a third rail hot-button
when it is so obviously THE common usage!

Several people off line and several havrusos had no porblem seeing my
usage as nothing more than basic Rambam 101!

NOT LOOSELY at all when it is after all is said THE common ubiquitous
default usage in posqim! It's mamrim's usage that is the yotzei dofen
here!

The only case that might fit mamrim is the "g'zeira b'minyan" which
COULD also include post-talmudic g'zeiros too - EG polygamy
