I'm curious; is this really true?  Do MO poskim truly claim that this is 
no longer the halacha?!  On what basis could they possibly say this? 
What authority could they claim to make such a change? Your argument is 
that they do so, therefore one may do so; aren't you begging the 
question?  If they truly do so, then shouldn't that rule them out of O?
