Do you think maybe Moses was addressing two different attitudes that people in his camp had about it? That may be why the answers are different. One of them concerned the ritual aspect, obviously, but in 18 there might have been a non-negligible faction concerned about the paganness of it, outside of the ritual purity of it, similar to the concern of eating meat sacrificed to idols in 1 Corinthians. I don't know.
