[Avodah] Daas Chachamim Noachah Heimenu

In translating a Hebrew quote posted to the list, I wrote:

I was always taught something along the lines of your first version.

I think it was R Yaakov Haber that I heard this from, but the idiom
could equally have been intended to me something more like (loosely)
"... isn't thinking with daas Torah".

I found the argument compelling enough to try to offer both translations.
