Ein hachi nami. After reflecting what bothered me so much about the Rav
Schachter's article I realized that he was talking as if every  premise was
universally accepted - and that one who failed to accept his premises and
suppositions was outside the pale

I guess I feel RHS is coming across not acknowledging other "kosher"
approaches - his way or the highway.  Whether he intends to do that, I do
not know, I have not verified this with him.  I would say that we can
quibble with the underlying premise in any given paragraph.

It reminds me of how I feel when friends of mine claim that if one consumes
haleiv hacompanies one is  eating treif despite the fact that RMF has
paskened otherwise.
