FWIW, finding the root of a machloqes to be about metzius seems pretty common in the Y-mi. One might say they are arguing about when one is chosheid for certain cases, like maybe there is a deep machloqes about how to define the word "norm" to apply to the metzi'us. I had this thought, but haven't (yet) invested the time to see if it's viable.

Mazal Tov on the Siyum! Your hesber is similar to the one R' M Rosensweig posited when I asked him this question relating to the machloket as to how many hours witnesses could be off and still be considered as a pair of witnesses.
