old man: Noone is doubting that Poskim occasionally defer to each other. The point is that on this specific issue the Poskim do NOT defer to Rav Waldenberg! Certainly NO responsible Posek would “Send the questioner to a doctor who “will tell you what needs to be done””
Additionally, I don’t know what circles you frequent, but the Tzitz Eliezer is NOT quoted all the time by Chareidi Poskim in EY. He is respected, but rarely quoted.
