FWIW the Sefer "Yad Halevi" by a Rav who was in Hartford -- has a short
essay on shoresh aleph along these lines, too

[Quick personal story 
Tuviah in Monsey republished this -- and when he found out I was from
Hartford he gifted me a copy]

Quick Rant: 
    I think we should all learn these s'farim b'iyyun rav 

    BUT when it comes to aplying them to Halachah -- or even Hashqafa --
    take them with a grain of salt, and apply them with the 5th Heleq
    of SA viz. Seichel. Or consult your LOR to see whether we need to
    apply a given passage strictly or liberally.
End of rant
