the question is “what came first” – a Litvak or a Chossid. You can obviously say that Chasidim started a revolution so that they can came later. But you can’t easily dismiss the argument that Litvak attitude was emphasized as a response to Chasidut and may not be same now as then.

Still, I quoted before a gemora about an amorah who silently refuses a shidduch with his Rebbe’s (Tanna!) daughter that probably means that at least THAT amorah was a Litvak.
