How do the two differ lemaaseh? If you don't know the milk is
unadulterated, it's possibly treif, whether the concern is "serious"
or not. Your explanation doesn't help me understand what additional
case the CS-posited gezeira was crafted to prohibit. I'm going to have
to ask you to explain further.

I am not sure that's safe to assume. I mean, RMF's sevara seems a
chiddush, but I don't know for sure it's /his/ chiddush. After all,
I am unaware of anyone else putting anything in writing.
