Joseph: I know you’re pretty smart, know how to research, and also kmow the right people. Please, let’s not be lazy.
Again, what I stated is very well known, but in all honesty, it bothers Rabbonim and they don’t like to talk about it. There are many Rabbonim who are great admirers of Rav Moshe ZT”L and are awed of his t’shuvos, its length and breath of Kol Hatorah Kulo.
But, comes a place where either Rav Moshe is machmir, i.e., the use of electric timers on Shabbos with the exception of timers for lights; Or where Rav Moshe in meikel, i.e., in our case of turning the gas off on gas ranges, than it’s suddenly “we don’t fir zich azoi” (we don’t follow this ruling).
We had a similar discussion in the Cholov Yisroel thread regarding Rav Moshe’s kula. But after all the d’rashas and shakle v’tarye; l’maise “seeing is believing” and the clincher is what the Godol Hador and his family actually do.
