I disagree Old Man. If Yoshon had always been readily available, then maybe people would never have eaten Chodosh in Chutz La’aretz. But since we can’t accept that all of K’lal Yisroel was being Over an Issur D’Oraisa, we have to go by our “Lomdishe pyrotechnics”. To start eating only Yoshon now is to say that those Jews were Over this Lav for a thousand years. That is just untenable. So whether we go by the Bach’s, the Rama’s, or one of the later Poskim’s reasons, we have to assume that one of them is correct.
