“The Chazon ish was opposed to paskening based on manuscripts.”
This is one of the most often misquoted statements said in the name in the Chazon Ish. Of course the CI allowed the use of manuscripts. The CI did not allow for the uprooting of halacha pesuka with a manuscript.

This should never be said over in his name. This statement reflects extremely poor on him. Maybe the Rambam’s manuscript from the genizah is also garbage c”v.
