to longerekel and others:

Prove to us that what you are proclaiming is true. Show us that this novel idea of “daas torah” in every nook and cranny of life is indeed what was practiced for generations.

It was not. The possuk of “lo sossur’ deals with halachic matters, not ‘milei d’alma’. You will not find in Shas or poskim a concept that a Posek knows all. Even in halachic matters, there were many arguments. ‘al achas kamma vekamma” on matters of everyday custom.

No one prevents you from asking advice or following a certain rebbe (I do, by the way) but it is a fiction to say that it is torah and thatwe must check our brains at the door and follow someone blindly. Infallibility is part of another religion.
