[Avodah] Denying that Chazal are Oral Torah is Kefira?

For example, he is quoted in the same letter as saying that we know our
sifrei Torah are NOT the original text (on a spelling level; as per R'
Meir's "yeseiros vecheseiros"). They took the majority of three sefarim
to reconstruct the Torah after churban bayis. The result didn't match
any of the 3 originals. And yet, if we were to find Ezra's or MRAH's
seifer Torah, we would have to use ours and not switch to theirs.

That's not an issue of having the historically correct girsa, it's an
issue of the processes defining correctness.

SheTir'u baTov!
