My comments streamlined

The simplest retort to the proposal of rolling back the Shulchan Aruch is to
A. NOT go back 1,000 years to the Talmud but
B. Rather roll back to just a few years prior to SA namely Tur-BY-DM. That will provide almost all the desired flexibility and none of the Talmud's obscurity
Shalom
