No problem, just pointing out that this implies 2 identically situated individuals may get a different dvar hashem depending on who they go to (some find this objectionable hashkafically) and that it does, as previously discussed, imply subjectivity which then brings into question the role of motivation (e.g. had the women's tfila groups come the same route as amen groups, would they have been allowed).

It also raises the question of what if my 2 identically situated people meet each other and decide they should seek the "true" dvar hashem by going to a higher level posek,  and why shouldn't this be the 1st option if one is seeking the "true" dvar hashem (if one thinks there can really only be one)
