If I must add my one and a half cents..
Joseph is right in a sense, the world was created in a fashion where when things are the normal way, it follows how the designer intended it to be. And everyone knows that. Its common sense. I just feel that there’s no need to keep harping on such issues. Gemarah somewhere says that because Achashveirosh sent such silly edict proclaiming a man should rule in his house, for it’s plainly obvious – even a lowly man is boss in him home, they decided to cast away his second edict of destroying the Jews as foolishness too. So keeping on this topic over and over doesn’t do anyone good.
On another note, as I’ve read from Rav Pinkus’s books, if one is questioned about any mitzvah, one is not allowed to “water it down”, make it appease-able to the public ect. Even if it’s pikuach nefesh, he says it’s ???? ??? ?????, included in the aveira of ????? ??????, to alter the Torah or mitzvohs. HOWEVER, there is NO MITZVAH to initiate, to go around and broadcast things that might get us in a bind… No, no Mitzvah to do that.
