Shlishi: I never said anyone has the ability to say when a Gadol is mistaken. Still, a basic belief in Judaism (as Rav Schachter stresses fairly often) is that our Gedolim are human and therefore fallible. Granted, it is incredibly rare that anyone can say about any particular issue that any particular Gadol was mistaken about something. But that is far from coming in with the assumption that a Gadol is all-knowing or infallible. Oh, and you realize that your assumption that only someone who never makes mistakes can tell us if someone who very rarely makes mistakes is mistaken is inherently flawed, right?
