"Rav tanna hu upalig", but Amoraim were still allowed to argue with Rav.
Similarly outstanding Acharonim such as the GRA and the SA Harav count
as Rishonim for the purpose of allowing them to argue against Rishonim,
but not for the purpose of not allowing Acharonim to argue with them.

(The Rogachover did not learn Acharonim at all, but he did learn the
AR, saying that he was a Rishon.)
