[Avodah] listening to governments and derabbanan

[Akiva Miller via Avodah]

I recall hearing once that the halacha of "safek d'Oraisa l'chumra" is only
d'rabanan. In other words, if one has a legitimate safek about whether he
did a d'Oraisa, then it is a smart idea and/or a rabbinic obligation to
resolve that safek, but he is not required by the Torah to do so.

I don't know if the above is correct, but if it is then it could be very
relevant to the current discussion. For example, a safek d'rabanan might be
a sort of "sfeik sfeika", and therefore go l'kula.
