DY Of course that is true
The following are true as well:
Chareidim want to believe in daas Torah because they are afraid to make their own decisions (heard from R’ Aaron Feldman).
Chareidim want to believe in daas Torah because they want a go to argument that can end any discussion about what they already decided. (heard from R’ Michel Shurkin)
Obviously there are other reasons as well and different people have different reasons but those are the two most common ones I’ve come across.
And dont even think of arguing, after all it is Daas Torah! (see what I did)
