This isn't a new perspective, it's what I said near the top of the
discussion.

    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,
    where the SA says it's a minhag, and thus the word "gezeirah" is
    being used loosely.

Compare this too:

: Here is my diyyuq

: The Brisker "two dinnim" are taluy whether the g'zeira was b'minyan or
: not b'minyan!

Since the "technical, Memrim 2:2, sense of the word" is WRT Sanhedrin, I
really think we're saying the same thing.
