PBA: When Rav Schachter respects your Torah knowledge we’ll let you make fun of Rabbi Dr. Lamm. How about that?
Firstly, respecting his torah knowledge is not synonymous with being a gaon.
Secondly, I have semicha from someone who is a greater talmid chochom than Rav Schachter, and that person respects my torah knowledge, and called me a “Rav Hagadol B’torah U’vyirah”.
Thirdly, Rav Schachter is an employee of Dr. Lamm’s.
