(frummer we may be, depending on how you understand frummer but definetly not better)
Lol. Lol. Lol. +1.
It is obviously ridiculous to bring proofs from the Ovois to our generation, because in every story of the ovois there is more than what meets our eyes, and the Rishonim and Achroinim have so many thousands of different ways of understanding them.

It’s also not apikorsus unless it challenges the 13 Principles of Faith, which it obviously doesn’t.
About the Esrogim, however, it isn’t Frummer, it is more Ga’avah. I do not mean to generalize here and obviously there are exceptions to the rule, but most of the nitpicking and being pedantic over Arba Minim is nothing to do with Halacha, and is simply on who can have the “nicest” set rather than the most Kosher. The Kashrus of an Esrog $18 set is often as mehudar as the $200, just one is a deeper yellow. Halacha is Halacha, and any other decisions revolving Daled Minim is superflous. <end of rant> But here is not the place for that discussion!!
