Your method boils down to who is included and who is not. As if Torah Observance was shoe kind of competition based on participation. The idea that it could be done entirely different by various groups is beyond your thinking. But if it actually in some instances occurred that way, you have all there mechanisms why it’s not real. Which makes your whole system very shaky. Many generations of Yidden made do with Divine Revelation and the prominence of Torah Study.
I really have no idea why you need this cumbersome system of popularity and ideology as governed by the implied displeasure of the gedolim.
And I’m really confused how such thinking has found such a strong home in the yeshivos of today.
