mdd, when the Gemara says, Hah D’reb Pap Teyuvta, and I ask you if we Pasken like that Rav Papa, you will answer that it was Itosav, or Mufrach. You won’t go and start adding your own arguments against Rav Papa, would you?
That’s exactly the case over here. Reb Moshe is saying that a Shita is Mufrach, because it was rejected by other Rishonim. And as you explained, he would have something to answer, but the other Rishonim would not hold of that answer. Reb Moshe was not saying that it is Mufrach because of his own Kasha. At most, he would say that it is Tmu’a. Calling the Ran a ‘person’ in order to ask a very basic question of faulty logic does not square.
His Lashon was quoted here. He doesn’t mention a coffin and I don’t think he meant the coffins of the Christian saints, either.
What are you talking about with this Paris thing? Either way, as I said, it is one thing to say he wasn’t aware of something and quiet another to say he wasn’t aware of your basic question.
