Thanks

I was actually thinking of that example. But dismissed it since in my view there is legitimate backing to avoid eating (I actually have a hard time understanding the heter to eat in the sukkah on shemini atzeres
but dont want to hijack this thread).
I did not know Litvish gedolim advised people to eat in sukkah, so that is a decent example, yet you ruin it with “It is also well known that many great Chassidish Rebbe’s who were talmidei chachomim didn’t, and to be dan l’kaf z’chus, even if we don’t understand it, we assume that they must have had halachic justification.”
So in that example. Given that my family doesnt eat in the sukkah on shemnini atzeres, are you saying I should eat in the sukkah?
Do you have any other examples? preferably without a caveat allowing for the “minhag to trump halacha”
