[Avodah] What is it that HKBH asks of us - Students Teachers

I am reviving this rather old topic because a while back AhS Yomi
passed a relevant source, and today I found the email to myself
reminding me to share it.

AhS YD 242:24
<https://www.sefaria.org/Arukh_HaShulchan%2C_Yoreh_De'ah.242.24>
distinguishes between not pasqening "in front of one's rav" when the
question is halakhah lemaaseh, vs being allowed and encouraged to
disagree with one's rav when the discussion is theoretical.

RYME also cites the SA se'if 8 that limits hora'ah as unettled law.
If the even if the question was halakhah lema'aseh, the prohibition
against hora'ah bifnei rabo also doesn't apply to just stating what
the community holds. (If the community is settled on one pesaq on the
question.) But the Ran (as quoted by the Shakh s"q 15) disagrees, and
even when it comes to "din hagalui lekol" the student can't speak up
in front of the rebbe. (I assume where the rebbe didn't just tell the
sho'el to do something clearly wrong. Just to speak up first.)

Then there is a question about how settled a question much be, what
kinds of sefarim must present the ruling. See the AhS there.

Tir'u baTov!
