I believe we would. We ignore HQBH directly telling us the truth, why would this be any different?

We also frequently revisit the question of archeology and whether it could change the text we should use in a seifer Torah. If we found something provably from Ezra's seifer Torah that differed on malei vechaseir, would we follow that text -- or do we continue defining "kosher" via rov?

:-)BBii!

That (Ezra) is exactly my question (and I am mchalek between HKB"H rerevealing and our own efforts to find the truth using our intellect)
