Reply To: Not losing Daas Torah

I was working under the assumption that a Talmid Chacham can tell you what he thinks the Torah position on a matter would be and considering that he has quite a bit of Torah knowledge, it is very likely that he is right.

But would someone who gave an obviously wrong opinion on what the Torah position is then make us suspect that his other opinions regarding the Torah position are subject to similar errors in judgement and/or application of the Torah’s position? Or do we say that here he made a mistake, and it does not call into question other opinions regarding the Torah position.
