ZD – I agree that the other thread is probably missing information. However, from what was given over (by more than one poster), it does sound pretty clear that he believes in Daas Torah.
“We have no proof that he said that about random people. It was likely a reason that he said 2 specific people should marry and with a reason”
I’m not sure what you mean by this? Are you saying that the Gedolim don’t tell everyone who to marry and only do so in specific cases? I don’t think anyone implied otherwise, and either way, it still means that he believes in Daas Torah, since he is saying that any time a Gadol does tell someone whom to marry, he has to listen.
Aside from the other thread, I have heard that he believes in Daas Torah. I once heard that someone asked him why he doesn’t wear techeilis and he responded, “Rav Elyashiv doesn’t wear techeilis, and I should wear techeilis?”
