Health: Frankly, no I cannot accept what you are saying. Rule #33 stipulates that a Safek only counts if there is at least a 50% probability of Heter. The only debate among the Poskim in this regard relates to the question if both Sfeikos require this or it is sufficient to have one at least 50% likely to be Muttar and the second can be less. The rule itself is accepted unanimously.
Logic also dictates that this must be so. Is we would have two Sfeikos each with an 80% probability of Issur, we would be left with an overwhelming likelihood of Issur, how could we imagine this would be Muttar.
No Rishon or Acharon ever proposed that Chodosh should be an exception, and there would be no logical reason to do so. In fact, as I pointed out, the Rema and Shach in 293 clearly apply this principle to Chodosh as well.
