You say "arguably", but I would argue not.

Ravina veR' Ashi sof hara'ah despite their lack of real semichah. As I
quoted, he bases the authority on it being mequbal umispasheit bekhol
Yisrael. The qualifications of the poseiq didn't play a role.

RYBS argued that we rely on the SA, Mappah and nosei keilim no less
than we do shas, and therefore by the Rambam's criteria, the standard
SA page defines rishonim and their precedence.

SheTir'u baTov!
