Similalry mishna brura's use of "midina" is used loosely" 
I guess I'm the only one who needs to use terms precisely! 
And too bad my chavrusa failed to notice this. HMMM 

I guess when I see g'zeiros w/o the term g'zeira -- I am reading into it!
And when I term it a g'zeira when I quote the author -- I am failing to
NOT read into it! ;-)
Reminds me of the story of the anti-semitic emperor who executed Jews
for daring to give Shalom and for failing to give shalom! CATCH-22!
