If the words of the piyyut "Berosh hashono yikoseivu, uveyom tzom kippur yeichoseimu" are correct, (mirrored by the the way we greet people after Rosh Hashono - Gemar Chasimo Tovoh) why do we wait until Neiloh to say "Chosmeinu" in Ovinu Malkeinu? Should we not start saying it after Rosh Hashono? <br>

It terms of greeting other people, you assume they were all written for
chayim on RH and just need a gmar chatima tova to seal the deal.<br>
<br>
In terms of our own requests, we allow that we may have had a bad gzar
din, and want hashem to tear it up and write a new one. Only at neilah
is there no more writing and only sealing.<br>
