Dear Youdont,
Your position is not that far off of theirs. The difference is that Conservative was honest enough to eventually say what the theory behind their approach was.
There are a whole bunch of disputes with Rav Moshe that come down to the other side having Conservative opinions but being too scared to really say them. This is because Conservative was very much legitimized in Europe. Every Orthodox group got the message and hid their underlying approach to Torah and Mitzvos for decades. Until Rabbi Avi Weiss was stupid enough to go public with his theories.
