You are assuming that RHS is a “gadol” and on par with his peer “gedolim” and, more importantly, assuming that he is on par with the recognized gedolim who preceded him, some by generations, who oppose his views.

Since even he would not say that the latter is true, your premise falls apart.

As well, a “machlokes”, as you surely know since you are so well-educated and have “opened a gemara”, denotes two legitimate opposing positions, as in, for example, Rava and Abaye, and NOT, for example, Torah Judaism vs. lihavdil, Jews for J.
