Fine, but that is a different question (how halachot are enacted). My 
point was about "I do not believe that the Jews at the time of Purim saw 
the miracle as ordinary at all.  It was clear in the end that HaShem 
saved the Jews through the efforts of Esther and Mordechai."

Besides the obvious projection in the statement itself, IMO the fact 
that the people responded with a party and food (and not mass tefilla or 
shira or  some other acts mentioned in Tanach) shows that they saw the 
event in secular terms. Look at Tel Aviv's Adloyada and try and see that 
as an acknowledgment of the miracle.
