DaasYochid: your statement is the crux of our difference. I don’t think that what you wrote binds anyone. I may believe that ONE Godol has that knowledge and therefore I follow him (the foundation of Hasidim) but why should it obligate anyone else? Is that belief binding? Am I a “kofer” if I don’t believe that?

Without re-hashing old “machlokes” on WW2, what happened when the Gedolim did not anticipate crucial aspects of our lives?
