CS: “1)I’m really not interested in how many people were for it not for it etc. because the Rebbe is known as a tzaddik gamur and never did anything against Hashem, so this must also be truth.”
This is what so many of us have been complaining about. Circular reasoning. “He said something, he must be right because he’s a tzadik gamur.”
But if it isn’t right, in this case it’s not just wrong it’s (close to) kefirah c”v, and then he isn’t a tzadik gamur.
So you can’t prove it right by saying that he said it. Lehavdil infinite havdolos (NO! I’m not comparing!) we could say that same thing about someone who claimed he was the son of … c”v. He said it and he must be right because he’s the son of … c”v.
