Chazal wanted everyone doing the same thing, but rather than mandate one
definition of the teru'ah to the exclusion of the others, we all do all
three of them.

This innovation breaks from everyone doing the same.

But more than that... Chazal had the power to pasqen and would have
pasqened if they didn't feel this compromise brought more achdus.

Being chosheish for shitas Rashi after centuries of no one (or kim'at no
one) blew according to shitas Rashi is an unwillingness to pasqen. And
an unwillingness to accept that the halachic process can actually say
A is right and B wrong. It's questioning the whole concept of pesaq!

Tir'u baTov!
