[Avodah] How the Torah portrays our great men

[Rich, Joel]

Thus  we can say that there is absolutely no evidence to support the
assertion that the Ramban is teaching us that **we** have the right to
ascribe error to the Avos or anyone else without a source in Chazal. 
Furthermore the citation from Hirsch also at most says - that Chazal
tells us that the Avos erred - but he doesn't say that we can ascribe
errors without support from Chazal.

Thus it is problematic to read "there are Orthodox deniers" into the
words of either the Ramban or Hirsch - neither would have agreed with
you.

===========================
R'DE
What is the source of the prohibition of ascribing errors to the avot?
On a related note, if we take the minimalist approach to the TSBP that
was given at Sinai, what was the algorithm that chazal used to determine
where they could or couldn't ascribe errors.  (I hope you understand
this isn't lkanter but to understand)
