“Most importantly, no one here noted the DATE of the teshuvo, which is 1929 !!! On can certainly assume that R’Moshe’s psak (and his father’s years earlier) dealt with a certain set of circumstances that would certainly have changed in other times.”
the crookedness that can be generated by someone attempting to win an argument is truly wondrous. how easily we can be misled by our personal interests. The Gemorrah is full of examples of how a self interest (usually a “bribe” of some sort even if unintended and small) can bend ones heart and mind and cloud ones judgement. the huge extent to which this can occur is made quite clear from our living example right here.
