Yes, in general, but for this example -- not necessarily. You take the
Rambam's shitah for granted. Most of us did not drop this one when the
rest of their medical advice was dropped with a "nihtaneh hateva".

But how is this related to R/Prof Levine's question? He asked about the
way in which we fulfill a mitzvah change just because halakhah allowed
a range of possibilities and the norm changed. And if mitzvos did once
have such room for variation, "why is there so much emphasis in Judaism
today regarding doing mitzvas in a very precise and prescribed manner?"

You raise a different topic, how the application of the very same
halachic position will produce different results if the situation or
our understanding of the situation changes.

Tir'u baTov!
