This is also the view of Rav Shloma Miller Shlita.
-1000.... (there is not enough space for all of the zeros) and I discussed this with him personally many times.
But it’s entirely unfair to dismiss the question out of hand because “it’s just another same old tumult”.
Not sure where you got that from. That is about as far from what is happening as can possibly be the case.
Either way, this is guaranteed to be an endless discussion as it has been for about 13 years since I did all this research. I am well aware of probably all of the sources you will bring and have given shiurim and written about it as well as having discussed it with numerous gedolei haposkim.
But it happens to be that it absolutely is the same old tumult including who held what.
