[Avodah] psak halacha

I always remember the question of whether one can talk out a sefer torah
for hakafot shneot in EY at the end of Shemini Azeret. I saw one psak
that allows it since it is a kiddush hashem for everyone to dance with
the torah. I saw a second psak that prohibited it because it is a
chillul hashem to allow everyone to dance with the Torah.

Obviously these are 2 poskim with different attitudes to including the
general populace and not just rabbonim or even shomrei mitzvot in
dancing with the torah.
How could one put that into a computer program?

need to be adjustable to mimic any particular posek.
