I haven’t been following everything but I saw some talk about Mesorah vs. sdl. I think someone said that Mesorah changes the chazakah and therefore removes the safek. I think that’s a valid point but it doesn’t seem to apply here. Correct me if I’m wrong, but we don’t have a Mesorah that what people use today ISN’T techeiles… we just don’t have a Mesorah telling us what IS techeilies… meaning that things that meet the halachic criteria can be techeiles, we’re just not 100% positive because we lack a Mesorah. In other words, it’s a safek. For all we know, when Mashiach comes, we’ll find out that it really is techeies… there’s no Mesorah contradicting that. It seems to me that sdl would fit very nicely here.
