Paul's arguments are clear concerning the need of a covering due to creation, that is not an appeal to culture. Sure veiling was the norm in ancient times but Paul is teaching how and why the church veils the way it does. He give purpose not cultural limitation to veiling and a need for the covering.

A Holy Kiss has no application to 1 cor 11 and is nowhere near a parallel.

I wasn't paralleling Holy Kiss to I Cor 11. Someone earlier mentioned that DB said the Holy Kiss is cultural, but not the hair in I Cor. That's why I brought it up. The poster made the comment that they both are cultural.

I think the argument has been and still is largely whether it's cultural or purpose.

Gotcha! To me the text speaks for itself!
