Shlomo, I still don’t understand your question. When did i say that we should have emunah because the rishonim say so? The status of the ikkarim is a halacha issue that is decided by the same poskim who decide what you can and can’t do on shabbos. Whether or not we understand their reasoning doesn’t change the halacha, and OP wasn’t asking for an explanation of the ikkar itselt, but rather how it can be an ikkar when there’s a machlokes regarding it. That question isn’t about understanding bias hamoshiach itself, but rather its ikkar status – to that i answered that it can still be an ikkar and we see that ikkarim aren’t static.

I didn’t say that emunah based on mesorah, withoit drisha vechakira isn’t childish because the kuzari says so, i gave a logical argument by comparing it to other historical occurrences on which no one disagrees or even questions it, because something that happens to an entire nation whose progeny are still around should be regarded as true. That’s not an argument from authority.
