Mosh,
“If we start being lomdish and continue bringing proofs from the Gemara and other poskim to dispute the information we can go on and on and never finish. ”
No one is being “lomdish” – you are paskening out of a book – NOT a responsum or anything in writing by these Gedolim mentioned.
The words of the founding Poskim are for all to see – torah and psak is not defined by Kol Korah’s or by personal feelings or, by one or two Gedolim.
B”H there are enough other Gedolim that most follow.
