It doesn’t only depend on the psak, it also depends on “ve azoi mehalt zach”. Even though a RAV says its OK but your father didn’t do it or held it was not ok, you can still sit on the fence on certain things and choose to be machmir. Things are not always black and white and for many people there are lots of various shades of gray in the middle. There are many times when my kids came home and said “My Rebbe said” or even when they were older and married and said “I asked my Rav and he said…” but I would say that Zaidy didn’t hold from that, or neither Zaidy did it that way. So if my son chose to follow his Rav that was up to him. In many cases he did, in many cases he thought it over and continued in the way his grandparents and parents did it.
