I don’t understand what is going on here. If someone knows the sugya and holds a certain way, beseder. But nobody seems to be arguing the actual sugya over here. It’s just “what did Rav Moshe hold?” Why is that relevant? Why don’t you just follow your rav? If you don’t have a rav, who gave you a right to just pick things that Rav Moshe said if there are others who argue?

There are two legitimate ways to determine a halacha: By figuring it out yourself if you know the sugya well enough and are capable of doing so, and by following your rav who you choose to follow whenever you are incapable of doing that. Picking and choosing kulas and chumras without any understanding of the actual halacha is simply intellectually dishonest.
