think the debate stems from the verse in Leviticus 22:14 which states “Thou shalt not eat gebrochts on Passover”
That, in my opinion, is poking fun of the root of a Minhag. Pardon me if you wrote it in extreme innocence.
Also, your story about Gedolim and Matzah ball in their window….
Our Gedolim know to respect Minhagim that OTHER GEDOLIM set, even though they don’t follow that specific minhag.
