If you insist that I know nothing about it, then I suppose that makes it true, doesn’t it?
While you may think that you have found a valid comparison re Lakewood, in truth it is laughable. What Rav Aaron ZT”L established in Lakewood is the epitome of Torah. (Not for a minute forgetting that when Rav Aaron ZT”L was there, Lakewood was a fraction of its current size, nevertheless what is there today is also the epitome of Torah).
What YU has is a joining of two worlds – Torah and lehavdil, science. The fact that they equate the two R”L is their most open display of breaking from Torah. In my own limited understanding I can see an easy comparison to a different sect of Judaism, but since I have never heard the comparison made by my Rebbeim I will not mention it.
Don’t fool yourself into thinking that your own personal reasons for disliking bench kvetchers (and what are those reasons? Just the extra money they cost you?) has the slightest bearing on the validity of the Litvishe Torah way of life.
