[Micha Berger]

It is true that we have no guarantee aside from the stated cases whether
it's a real machloqes or whether one side erred.

We also have no guarantee that we're following a real pesaq even where 
there is no alternative pesaq.

Doesn't "emunas chakhamim" mean that we're supposed to assume (perhaps a
formal chazaqah) that our chakhamim actually produce Torah? Otherwise,
there is no concept of mesorah left...

Tir'u baTov!
