Yeah, I don't think the sugya is relevent altogether, because I would
go with "restrictive". Qidush haChodesh isn't pesaq. It creates Rosh
Chodesh for reasons of its own. hazeh LAKHEM". As R' Aqiva says, it's a
special gezeiras hakasuv, "asher tiqre'u osam bemo'adim" and "'atem...
atem... atem...' -- 'atem' afilu shogegin, 'atem' afilu meizidin, 'atem'
afilu mut'in."
