FWIW I used to be a shul rabbi on Shaabos/Yom Tov and Gabbai of a wekday
minyan in Teaneck. During ChhM Sukkos - when the Torah was taken out for
hoshanaos - I suggested to close the Aron Kodesh after taking the Torah
out.   Somebody 2nd guessed me. I said source? He replied Artscroll!

So even if rabbis are not getting 2nd guessed, gabba'im ARE
