Treating a machloqes like a safeiq is a last-ditch resort, only to be done
when you can't actually pasqen. Those who say we use a smaller estimate
for revi'is when finding a minimum for a derabbanan (or a maximum for
deoraisa) are only those who feel there is nothing compelling about one
pesaq over another.

In any case, as I already mentioned, I find it plausible that revi'is
mequmetzes means a small estimate for a revi'is. And therefore invoked
the CI to avoid that entire topic.

Tir'u baTov!
