sjs – contrary to popular belief, i don’t know everything. but i could find out if i asked or tried learning (not likely, but it’s possible)
Well, if you are saying that you don’t ask to find out if its treif, thats different than knowing its treif and lying to yourself.
Me personally, I don’t ask for a psak for something I know I am not going to follow. Why? I don’t think its fair to take advantage of the system. So if I know I am going to do XYZ wrong if I am told its wrong, its not fair of me to find out if its right. If I would listen, I ask.
Is this right? Probably not. But I just don’t like to take advantage of the system.
