Yeah, when they pasqen. Not daas Torah. BK violated halakhah, not just
advice.

I read teridin as a constant description, "they are always busy with their
texts instead of what people are doing." Also not in the past. Not in
the future once appointed. But a description of the typical TC's nature.

Again, not that they're too busy to respond, but too busy to be aware
of the metzi'us.

Tir'u baTov!
