Lander: That is not Muskam at all in the Poskim. It is definitely the “cooler” Shittah for Yeshivah Bochurim to say over and may even be a majority opinion (it probably isn’t though, Mistimas Divrei HaPoskim), but it’s not Muskam. The story with R’ Yisrael Salanter is brought down either that he did or didn’t make Kiddush, and I heard from a big Talmid Chacham that even if he did, it’s not a Ra’ayah because maybe he did it just to get the people to eat. (There is also apparently some discussion as to whether or not it actually happened, but I’m not so holding in that topic.)
