  Understanding of Weyl gauge symmetry is rarely associated with underlying
postulates. Here we show that such an omission leads to discrepancies in regard
to the reach and consequences of gauge symmetry within gravitational theories.
Replacement of the postulates which underlie the conventional approach, by just
the opposite assumptions, leads to a radically different interpretation of Weyl
gauge symmetry, which shares the same mathematical foundations and carries
observational consequences.
