I concur. I thought that much was clear from my mention of some of Rav Goren's 
heroic achievements. But the part about respecting has little to do with the 
question of da'at ya'hid or not. It is generally our duty to respect each 
others, all the more so to respect talmidei 'hakhamim yerei shamayim.
