Actually, it’s “I claim my Gadol holds your Gadol and therefore you was an Oveid Avodah Zarah”.
Did he say that in this thread? I haven’t read all the posts.
If you ask any YU Rosh Yeshivah or respected “MO” Rav what the real ideological differences are between YU and Lakewood, the answer you will get is “nothing” (or attitude towards the Medinah, I guess).
But you won’t get that answer from many roshei yeshiva and rabbonim in the yeshiva world.
