“Ah, but my imaginary thread wasn’t about ״תשובו כעין תדורו״ , it was about, and I quote, “Eating in the sukkah ….””
You keep getting dinged on this because your “imaginary thread” is not a good mashal. You admit you would be wording it poorly if you wrote it that way. Joseph did not word this thread in a comparable way.
The OP is a response to recent articles using “kiddush Hashem” to describe a Chassidishe guy changing a tire (no joke) and a frum woman getting an important position in US government. The headlines were using it in the colloquial manor I mentioned above. Nobody is arguing that there’s no inyan in looking good by goyim; they might be arguing that there’s no halachic inyan in itself.
