Cauliflower biscuits?

I know this thread is old but I'm confused as to why Well Fed's oven fried salmon "cakes" are Whole 30 approved but cauliflower "biscuits" are not.  Basically the only difference between the recipes is that one has salmon and one has cauliflower.  Just trying to understand where the line is here.  Thanks for any input.

Paleo biscuits and Paleo pizza crust are throwback reminders of bread.  Using alternative flours to make a bread formation is a SWYPO.

"Experientially, we’d be surprised if you don’t learn something from the experience of abstaining from your breads and muffins for 30 days. If you decide to return to them after your Whole30 is done, that’s completely your choice! Best of luck to you."

If you read above, you'll see the answer: no recreating baked goods. In addition, no foods which might be considered SWYPO or foods without brakes.

Just my thoughts:
 

A "biscuit" is an effort to make a breadlike product. 

A salmon patty/salmon cake is not really a "cake". It's a type of croquette. Croquettes or patties or cakes can be modified by removing the breadcrumbs to make them compliant, but you're not recreating a forbidden food. 

Just as an example, this is a typical salmon cake/croquette recipe:

If you take that recipe and remove the Worcestershire and the bread, you have an item that is 100% Whole30 compliant. You're not recreating anything or trying to make the salmon into something it's not. It's still a croquette, just a breadless one.
