Just to address your mest recent comment. The halacha is noit like the ‘vort’ you mentioned. ע’ מ”ב סי’ ל”ט ס”ק כ”ו וסי’ קצ”ד ס”ק י”ג וסי תומ”ח בביאה”ל בסכ”א ובהגהות רע”א שם במג”א ס”ק ד’ ובביכורי יעקת שם ס”ק נ”ג ובפרמ”ג שם במ”ז ס”ק ל”ו אות ו’ ובשו”ע הרב סי’ ל”ט סי”א ובשו”ת רע”א סי’ ס”ד ובריטב”א ובראב”ד מובא בשטמ”ק ב”מ ו ע”ב
You see from here that the Taanos raised by the opposition art spoken without knowledge.

Second of all it is ridiculous to say that we shouldn’t do a mitzva to be yotzeh according to anyone just because there is a machlokes how many strings. Also most hold that by following Tosfos you are yotze according to everyone. Tis has been researched and written about extensively. But again the opponents speak off the cuff without knowledge.

It seems like a hefkairus to be so quick to give quick not well thought out responses to have an excuse not to do a mitzva that is as much a chiyuv as any other mitzva. Just imagine if this would be done with any other mitzva. It is a shame and a disgrace. The Torah isn’t a game. We are obligated too take it seriously and fulfill the commandments and not use false ways out. The opponents of the techailes don’t realize this. They don’t realize the level of kalus rosh that is represented by their stance.
