While we here can only discuss halakhah velo lemaaseh, do to the
limitations of the venue and of many of us, I reiterate what I thought
was obvious last time we reached this point -- Yes, the authority of a
pesaq rests on the acknowledged authority of the poseiq.

Besides if the SSK doesn't seem to agree, isn't the normal response to
check that the SSK seems to be saying the same to you, and if so, to try
to capture why his opinion differs? You're sitting behind a keyboard,
without RSN's beqius, and you think that what seems obvious to you is
necessarily correct? Could you picture me doing the same on-list in
contradicting the LR's position on some point in Qabbalah?

If you wish, however, to simply reframe the thread back to the theoretical
discussion rather than a battle of poseqim, *that* I could understand.

Tir'u baTov!
