Feivel,
Thinking pepole try to follow the mehalach that makes the most sense to them,
or they follow rabbonim who’s ideas make the most sense to them (of course there are those that just blindly do whatever mehalech there parents happen to hold of so if they are born to non frum parents they wouldnt be frum ect.)
this is usaly how we decide what type of school to send our kids to (yeshivish, modern , chassidish ect.) among other decisions.
to assume that your mehalach is the only correct way either because you happen to have been brought up with that mehalach or because it makes the most sense to you (especialy if you almost certainly wouldnt win a debate with the person who’s shitos you are opposing!) smacks of intellectual dishonesty and ignorance.
