PAA: At least acknowledge that the Dor Revi’i was attacked for these Shittos and that he is on the fringe of accepted thought, if not outright rejected.
HaLeiVi: LF’s claim that there is an unwritten Mesorah of a special trust in Talmidei Chachamim is, frankly, scary. Not because it’s wrong, but because we can never claim unwritten Mesorahs. Why is that unwritten Mesorah any better than the “Tikkun Olam” Mesorah of the Reform or the “Hashem obviously wanted us to be nice people at the expense of Halachah” Mesorah of the Open Orthodox? We have a corpus of Torah Sheba’al Peh that contains our entire Mesorah. Once you go outside of that, you are lost.
