Most halachas don't have much wiggle room.
There's a halacha that has some wiggle room.
Another indication that it has some wiggle room is the fact that the halacha kol paska lo paska yamosha, or for that matter, kol parsha, the paska moshe ben paskina, the lo paska moshe ben lo paskina, which is sugyam brachos, those halachos are not mentioned in the Rosh, the Riff, the Rambam, the Tur, the Shulchan Aruch.
So it's somehow absent from halachas for him.
In fact, there's a wonderful little contrast called Omer HaShikha where he goes through all the halachas that the Rambam or the Torah or the Shulchan Aruch or the Riff forgot to write.
And he tries to give some sort of explanation why they didn't quote certain things.
We don't find anyone who disagrees with this halacha.
And he says, I do not know why we left off this halacha.
Now the Ramah in Hilchas Kiddush says that there's a minach on Friday night.
to start with, before you say, to say, because then the Rashi Tevis, so the first four words that you say, are, so the question is, but wait a second, is part of another Pasuk, so, so the Archa Shulchan says, yeah, yeah, that's why people have a minute to whisper the rest of the Pasuk.
meaning they say the whole Pasuk in order to address that issue.
Chassam Sofer says, no, you can't say the whole Pasuk, because the Pasuk says, the Gemara Darshans, the Hamisa,
We'd rather not mention Misa on Shabbos.
And therefore, he says, it's considered low F-shar.
That's quite a liberal definition of low F-shar.
You could just leave out the whole thing.
But apparently, the desire to want to have the remez of the Yud Kei Vav Kei
is enough that it's called low efshar, wild.
