I wish you were right YIT. Unfortunately I have heard the same people who depend on these women to do a tahara on their niftaros, and do it with skill and expertise and knowledge of halacha, say they can’t or won’t eat at the house of these women, some of whom were the founders of the schools, shuls or even communities they live in. To me, it smacks more of laziness than narrow mindedness. Balabatim who have serious issues with halacha in business dealings aren’t scrutinized, but since you can see if a woman is wearing a hat or not, you can presume on her kashrus observance or lack thereof.
What I am saying is that presumption – especially when we are talking about marbitzos torah, or gmilei chesed, or the like – is a real shame, and the resulting embarrassment, which I have seen with my own eyes, is, we are told, like murder.
