“This, unfortunately destroys the credibility of the valid points that are presented and the discussion that could have been”

“The answer is that the shita is correct, but they picked the wrong rebbe. That’s all. How should they have known he was the wrong rebbe? Not from any one incident, but over time they could have realized that something is very wrong.”
@ CS “Also as Torah yidden we are expected to follow our Rebbe without question, but the same Torah mandates the Rebbe to have sources for his Torah and not to make up whatever he wishes.”
Please unpack that a little more. How could they have realized that something is very wrong? Doesn’t following the Rebbe without question include emuna that he has sources for his Torah and isn’t making things up?
