truthsharer:
The term is “Das”=”law” not “Daas”=”knowledge”.
There are basically three ways of sinning:
A) Knowing it’s wrong but not resisting the temptation to sin
B) Not knowing it’s wrong and therefore thinking one is acting properly
C) Knowing it’s wrong but deciding that “Modernity” demands the Torah accommodate this.
The essential point, as I wrote, is that MO makes (some) aveiros into mitzvos (option C). The sin of a traditionally observant Jew, however, would fall into either A or B.
I don’t discuss my personal hanahgos, though if you want to know why some Jews eat indoors on Shemini Atzeres, why not ask their them or their Rabbi?

I thought my first post above suitably addressed ANONANO’s post to me. I’m sorry you didn’t think so.
