Sorry for interrupting a learned discussion, but I am yet to know of a moschihist or of a misnaged who changed their opinion based on the new reading of rishonim. Do you?
R Salanter was once confronted by a maskil in an inn. A debate was suggested, so Rav took off his jacket and suggested that the loser put on the other’s jacket (traditional v modern). When the maskil refused, Rav said there is no point in a debate where the person is not ready to follow up on the results.
So, maybe, we should compete on who has more people at his seder, or how many Yidden one taought Torah or who makes better cholent.
