1--R Hirsch  would clearly not be comfortable in a  DL/RZ  setting

2-- He probably would be uncomfortable in a typical  MO environment, 
though one could envision him as a rav in an MO congregation that aspires 
to greatness--- he would be at least as successful as rabbi riskin was in 
his time

3-- The more interesting question would be where would be the comfortable 
fit in the haredi community;  in the post-Slifkin era would he be 
self-censoring?
       Or is emes a greater  midah than capitulation?
