This would seem to be the natural Torah position (in addition to what’s already posted regarding the Rambam being a Halacha lmaase sefer).
—-
You keep on repeating the Rambam fallacy again and again.
Cannot understand how you see any proof in the Rambam’s words re the advisability for ‘looking for the most suitable candidate in each generation’.
This is against our Mesorah and the Rambam’s words prove absolutely nothing.
Again- in no other group in klal Yisrael is there any ‘looking for candidates’ going on.
Yours is the only one ….
