1. All Rishonim and Achronim are dead, by definition, so you need a time machine to argue with them.
2. We discuss Rishonim and Achronim only in the context of matters that were debated at the time. No one cares what the achronim thought about matters that were already settled by the rishonim, since by the time of the achronim it wasn’t debated.
