@always ask, the Jewish people always had a “moreh derech” since time kabolas hatorah, call it dass torah or other names it not relevant as to what it is called it is our mesorah, I know this does not match your or the OP agenda but that is the fact.
In Oz Yosher we say “vaymeanu behashem ubMoshe avod, first mishna in avos is moshe kebul torah msinai and it lists out the line of succession, the more recent histroy we had the GRA, Talmiday Bal Shem ZTL etc. in the recent past you had the Chofetz Chaim, Reb Chaim Brisker, Sanzer Rebbe ZTL
recently we had Reb Moshe, Rav Elyashiv, Satmar Rebbe ZTL, so your Rabbi and your encyclopedia can take the slow boat to China and no one will notice any difference
