Gavra, you put “chochom” in quotes. I don’t know to whom you refer, but I can assure you that I am more discerning as to who possesses “daas Torah” than it may appear. I am discussing the principle.
OK. Works for me.
Obviously I’m not addressing anyone who clearly said “it will be safe”. That’s probably best understood by gavra’s last comment. (the premise of which, GAW – by the way – is that you should ALWAYS listen no matter what, because if its misguided then that too will have been whats supposed to happen.
No, if it is misguided, then it is not Daas Torah, and we are not Calvinists who believe in predestination.
