Rav Lichtenstein’s thoughts on any topic are important because when the Godol Hador gives a sichah (not a shmuess, at least to my knowledge that term has never been used in that yeshiva), his words are worth listening to. And yet, Rav Lichtenstein is not the only Rosh Yeshiva, there are others ,they all give sichot and shiurim, and they have varying hashkafos on many issues. One of the distinct features of this yeshiva is that different voices and opinions are heard and respected, some say to a fault. Given, it is not for everyone, but no yeshiva can make that claim. Someone who goes for the quality of learning will not be disappointed. No single person’s hashkafah need affect the learning, and so I think that this discussion of MO is irrelevant.
