Ohr Chodosh, you aren’t debating with anyone. My point is not to be the town crier for when one or the other godol makes a mistake or makes a decision which turns out to have had unintended consequences; My point is also not to tell people not to follow gedolim – follow who you feel is your manhig and for what you need his hanhogo.
My point is that the relatively recent phenomenon of “godol infallibility” is a minhag akum. Look at the kaporoh sought by the megaleh amukos for his wrong decision, which he felt cost the lives of his three brothers in law. Look at the feud between Rav Yaakov Margoliyos and Rav Yehudah Mintz. R yonasan Eybeshutz and R yaakov Emden. There was a right and a wrong in each of these cases.
Boruch Hashem that our gedolim are human and can relate to our frailties. You want to set up our gedolim as beyond mistakes?
That’s not Yiddishkeit. Its kim’at kfira.
