@AAQ,
“Still this is funny, as apparently you subscribe to Daas Torah and I do not”
This has nothing to do with “Dass Torah” that you unartfully put down, this has everything to do with deferring to someone who knows the subject matter better then you do.
I don’t sign a contract before a a lawyer reviews it even though I deal with torts daily as per of my job,
I would not buy a house before I check it out with a check it out by a stuctual engineer even with my engineering degree because that is not my focus of my specialization.
I don’t read a manual on root canal and do it myself or read a repair manual and fix my own car, I defer to Endodontist and trained mechanic on my make of car.
Like it or not, a Rabbi is a expert in Halacha and each case is different, I am proud to acknowledge my limitation and I strongly suggest you put your ego aside and do the same.
