Ok, Gavra, thanks for understanding my annoyance, we’re cool.
I will explain myself. You are absolutely correct that the Bach makes no apologies and unlike the beginning of his piece, towards the end he unequivocally states that his opinion is emes. Methinks he protests too much. We all know that beyond the shakla v’tarya there are metahalachic considerations among poskim. These include migdar milsa, hefsed merubah, limud zchus, tzorech harabim, tzorech gadol, hora’as sha’ah and the like. I feel that the Bach was confronted with an embarrasing situation, that of only a precious few honoring the issur of chodosh and he was determined lelamed zchus. I think he was too determined and showed it. My personal opinion is that he would have been happy had it been a halachah that all kept like chametz b’pesach and would have supported an issur goref. Can I prove my opinion? No, of course not. But that’s the way I see it.
