Closer to home: we have a letter on the front page where the respected talmidei chachamim say that they do not know of any gadol (singular) that disagrees with their position on draft. This breaks the infallibility argument: either those who are verifiably Talmidei Chachamim and are known to hold opposite position are wrong and not gedolim; or Talmidei Chachamim that signed the letter are wrong not just in their conclusion, but simply in the veracity of their statement. I don’t see how this simple example can support that T’Ch are always right, unless you are using “no good scotsman” derech.
