Reply To: Not losing Daas Torah

PAA: If the only status given to Da’as Torah was that of a wise man, than you would be correct. However, in the case of Da’as Torah, the person themselves is given the status of their utterances as being unquestionable Torah wisdom until proven wrong (and even then many will believe the Da’as Torah source over the facts.)

If your answer is that the statements should now be questioned, then the person who says them (and those statements) are now only from a “wise man”, but not “Da’as Torah”.
