You did say that in previous iterations. I forgot and this just jogged my
memory. Although the Muncaczer's petirah was well after the start of
Zionist norm and idiom, so I'm not sure how it's a raayah against. L,
OTOH, is more to the point.

: How???

Lifsoq is to stop.

If you think about it the idiom "pesaq halakhah" seems to be saying the
poseiq deemed one tzad unusable, rather than about declaring his own
position din.

As RSBA's question denotes, though, I think that it's translating
the idiomatic use of pisqa as though it were literal, perhaps because
"gemar chasimah" is already being passed around. And therefore it's a
translation arror. Again, until I hear more about L.

Tir'u baTov!
