Besalel, apology accepted.
Yichusdik, maybe I misunderstand, so please explain, but it seems that the first half of your post is arguing with R. Vosner, and the second half, merely arguing with its application.
I do not find the distinction compelling. The issue of tznius didn’t change; perhaps the tzorech changed, perhaps it didn’t.
My use of the word absurd was in response to besalel, who used it in reference to your position (as I understand). If you have an issue with it, take it up with him, not me.
