Joseph,
So if, say, Rav Belsky has a public psak halacha where he holds it assur to copy a friend’s music CDs, should a cautionary note be made when publicly relating said psak that the nuance may be lost, the information is hearsay and a private psak from him may differ?
1. The issue of copying CDs is intrinsically less complex and nuanced than the issue in this thread.
2. I’m certainly not advocating for cautionary labels on any posts discussing piskei halacha. Just an awareness that an actual conversation with a rav or attendance at a shiur will give one much more insight than posts in an Internet forum.
