Don't you see the contradiction?  Unless you're claiming (on what basis?)
that this is a mere "tale" which we should ignore.

Wow, there's a source.

Another wonderful source.  What's the point of citing some random
anonymous source against our poskim?  Why would you even consider
believing "posts on the web" over the poskim whose words we live by,
without knowing whose words you're quoting?  A search yields the
source, and surprise surprise, the author is a koferet, and the book
is published by a house whose entire purpose is spreading kefirah.
This is a source?!
