you must be kidding. Joseph’s question is ridiculous. It isn’t because people aren’t comfortable with their level of devotion to Hashem or they just don’t want to acknowledge what the Torah asks of us? Joseph question is insinuating that there would be a rov of the status of a gadol who, with all his wisdom and siyatta dishmaya would order this type of behavior and IF such a crazy thing was true, would we follow it. OF course everyone opposed to these behaviors would do anything our gedolim say, but just like in that stupid, ‘can I beat my wife on shabbos’ question, you are pretending to be concerned about shmiras Shabbos while behaving like a menuval.
