DY: I have respect for Chassidim, thank you very much. I have respect for Talmidei Chachamim and even more respect for major Talmidei Chachamim. It is not due to a lack of respect that I think they were trying to find a source for a Minhag (because of the assumption that “Im Lav Neviim”) but just didn’t know the origin of this practice.
