Pashute yid, your (excellent)posting about shabbos clocks is the proof that it takes time for a halocho to settle in. It is obvious that the vast majority of Jews (and Poskim) have agreed that shabbos clocks are fully acceptable and R”Moshe zz’l Psak is only accepted by very few.
Hence, whenever there are “new’ halovhos, don’t necessarily reject it… or accept it.
‘Puk mo amo diber” is a very reliable way of knowing how a halacha develops and is ultimately accepted.
Lest anyone accuse me of only looking at “kulos’, remember that in the early part of the twentieth century, thee were major Poskim who wanted to allow the use of electricity on shabbos vejomtov but the preponderance of Poskim decided against it and presto- today , no one allows using electricity on shabbos. (Yom tov may be different). It takes time for halachic decisions to become accepted or-rejected!
