Sorry if I wasn’t clear, but as Ive been saying a number of times, there are multiple components that make up the argument–this sevara (or alternatively, relying on a daas yachid like R’ Ovadiah zt”l) is being used after the fact that it has become (arguably, la’aniyas dati) a minhag Yisrael to justify it, because thats how ‘organically produced’ Minhag Yisrael works–it encourages us to find a smach/basis for something, even though we might now have done so a initially, consciously; we wouldn’t say to rely on a das yachid or on a novel sevarah like this to be matir a de’orisa chamura before any such minhag exists.
I’m not suggesting we start any new minhagim now re haloween… 😉
ashreinu that we have such amazing genuine moadim! a gutten yom tov!
