I don't doubt the forceful and compelling nature of his halachic reasoning, but surely there must have been some people who said, "That can't be right, because if it is right, then our mothers and grandmothers, for millenia, were mevatel a Mitzvas Aseh D'Oraisa."

That is exactly what most people did say, and why it took so long for
