Chas vshalom – just the opposite! That we AREN’T on such a high level, therefore we can’t just assume that how they did things will work for us! Yes of course there is a concept “maaseh avos siman lvanim” but it can’t always be taken so literally – there is also the concept of yeridos hadoros and we have to act differently according to the generation we live in. We are not able, in this day and age, to be as great as the avos. Therefore, we need to act differently in a lot of circumstances.
