Is this really a problem?

I highly recommend learning AhS. One of the things you get to watch
is how much this conflict drives the dialectic of halakhah. Unlike the
clean-room approach to halachic theory one gets from lomdus. You get a
sense of how much acceptance of a practice in the field drives how much
willingness to accept or draft a dachuq theory to explain how it could
be justified in theory.
