It would seem that notwithstanding the BALM aspect within the Mitzvah of
KAVeEim, it is not greater than the Mitzvah of honouring and respecting

Yet the Issur of Chanufa applies specifically to not bowing to accept a
Pesak of a preceding BD just because they preceded the present BD that
deems their ruling to be incorrect.
