The question is why he assumed that.  What is it about the words
"Sabbath mode" that would make someone just assume a specific meaning
without bothering to inquire?   Especially since RMF held that such a
mode as he thought he was getting is impossible as a matter of halacha;
why would he assume that the Star-K was ignoring RMF's psak?
