ZD & AY – I think you are both saying the same thing. ZD is talking about the way things are (that people relate to Gedolim like they relate to elected leaders) and AY is talking about how things should be – that people should realize that the Gedolim were not “chosen” in a democratic election, but rather they were chosen by the experts, and therefore we must respect them and not act like it is up to us to decide who the Gedolim are.
