ZDad, this is a Chashash that even those who are Choshesh for it say is far-fetched. It is followed because of the Minhag. And those who originated this Hakpada did so only because of the stringency of Pesach in general, like Tosafos tells us regarding the Chiyuv of Bedika. Besides, I did not see or hear the argument that you should want to be like that Gadol who is Machmir. I did hear the argument that if you are a Yerei Shamayim you would keep far away from a chance of an Issur. Hence the term, Yerei Shamayim Yotze Yedei Shneihem and Hamchmir Tavo Alav Bracha.
