And contrary to what you think, we are not claiming that mesorah does not have depth, — in ways that conform to your preconceived conceptions about Mesora — nor are we chas veshalom being mezalzel mesorah in any way shape or form — intentionally. — That is what we call not having a brain and just roboticaly copying the things you see with no havana. Mesorah does not mean blindly doing everything exactly as it was always done. That is what we call not having a brain and just roboticaly copying the things you see with no havana. — Agreed.
Mesorah is understanding why we do things and applying the reasoning to guide life decisions.
That’s your own very limited and very general definition. While part of a Mesorah is its methodology of prioritizing different factors, that is hardly the only thing. Mesorah can say something without a clear reason why, and that’s not by definition illegitimate. And there’s alot more to say. Again go ask someone.
