Don't know if this helps (and I haven't seen it inside as I do not have
a copy of the relevant sfarim quoted by the Sde Chemed), but the Sde
Chemed in Mareches Lamed clal 6 (chelek 3 p266) [which is on the mitzva
of lo taasur] quotes the Chida in Sefer Pesach Anayim in his chiddushim
to Rosh Hashana daf 25a in relation to the matter of Rabbi Yehoshua with
Rabbanan Gamliel that davka this is in a matter on which there is to him
katzas safek but if he knows vadai without any safek that the judge has
made a mistake he should not do as per his words - and the Sde Chemed
continues that his words are brought by HaRav Taharas Hamayim in this
marecha at ois 11 and he writes shehem d'varim peshutim b'reish Horiyos

=============================
Thanks for the cite, it's along the lines of what I've been
hearing/seeing  since my original post.  The question that now
fascinates me is how do the poskim define this vadai -can you ever be
vadai in logic or is it only in facts? Torah issue vs. rabbinic? Genius
level individual vs. not? Sanhedrin vs. other sources of "psak",Perhaps
Y"K is an exception to the rule...........

It's fascinating to watch great minds wrestle with the same data points
and try to reconcile them. It also seems to my puny mind that there was
not a clear mesora on such a basic issue.
