Joseph, no less an authority than Rabbi Fuerst got up and publicly declared that Rav Elyashiv was fooled on the metzius of Indian hair sheitels. That is why one needs a rav, this is why one needs an actual kesher with gedolim, and that is why one doesn’t pasken based on askan-produced kol korehs. The Yated had an article about askanim and gabbaim manipulating gedolim recently. I trust gedolim. I don’t trust askanim. Kol korehs are done by askanim, not gedolim. Many times, the lashon of the kol koreh is changed from the lashon that was shown the gadol. That is why I have a Rav, and that is why I keep up my kesharim with my previous Rabbeim- to know when something is emes or sheker. I follow Daas Torah. That Daas Torah is decided by my Rav and Rabbeim, not by a kochleffel askan.
