First off, what I mean by saying that the sefer Daas Noteh is hearsay is this: of course I am not C”V belittleing R’ Chaims son who is a Talmud Chachom in his own right, however, everyone here without a doubt would agree that he carries nowhere near the weight of HaGaon R’ Chaim. Now, so far no one has been able to explain the Mahril who CLEARLY states nignuz does not mean that it cannot be found. Furthemore in the sefer Daas Noteh it does NOT mention at all the Mahril. Clearly the Mahril cannot be ignored, yet it would seem that R’ Chaim did ignore it! Obviously, the version brought down in Daas Noteh is NOT the full opinion of R’ Chaim, rather we are missing some integral part of his opinion.
Now, if R’ Chaim himself wrote and went through the sefer we cannot say that. However the sefer in question was NOT gone through by R’ Chaim to ensure complete accuracy. As such I don’t think it wrong to be skeptical of its accuracy in portraying the full opinion correctly.
