I am totally at lost as to your intent. Megillah reading or dancing with
a sefer Torah are reducible to black-letter law. In contrast to, for
example, deciding how to triage my tzedaqah donations.

Wehther that reduction can be done within vanilla halachic process or
by appeal to metahalakhah, or by appeal to the general "feel" of halakhah
-- like the Rambam's "li nir'eh" -- is a different question.

But either way, the question exists.

So, what do you mean?
