================================================

ANSWER: The Three Oaths are an Agadic Midrash,
and therefore they are not Halachically obligatory,
because Agadic Midrashim (as opposed to Halachic Midrashim)
are not traditionally understood as a valid source for Halachah.

Stated simply: Midrashim are not Halachah.
