simchah joy happiness - Why do we say Tachanun during Adar?


According to this answer, we don't say tachanun on days that are yemei simcha -- days of happiness.


But the Talmud (Taanit 29a) says Mishenichnas Adar marbim b'simcha -- once Adar begins we increase happiness. Seemingly this applies at least until after Purim (14th and 15th of Adar).


But if we don't say tachanun in the entire of Nisan because we don't say it for the majority of the month (the rov), then why do we say it during Adar?
