As if to say, "If the rabbis don't understand it, let them discuss and argue, but I know what's kosher." Not in an indifferent or cavalier way, but in a sincere and temimusdik way.

I don't see that happening.  Instead I see an assumption that since it's
accepted as kosher, and everyone including chachamim eat it, someone must
have permitted it; it couldn't have just happened by accident.
