torah and chazal are one; they cannot be separated. chazal functioned as the transmitters of the dvar Hashem, and in so doing were greater than neviim – chacham adif minavi. For you to dismiss some things that they say without even having gained the tools of study that we received from the rishonim and achronim….I doubt you’d be able to translate, much less delve into one ket’a of a ma’aracha of reb akiva eiger….to say that you who presumably went to college or at least are knowledgeable of modern thought, are superior in perspective, that you see clearer than they do, casts you outside the torah world into an abyss of apikorsus.
megaleh panim betorah shelo’kahalacha applies to hashkofo too.
