Zahavasdad, I am not saying a Godol can not make a mistake, but the proof from the emigrarion shailah is not a good one.Going to America since the end of 19-th century till mid 20-th one was a trip to otd and losing olam habah, if not for the person himself, then for his children. The situation in Europe did not become obviously dangerous till 1938. The mass immigration to the US was ended by the 1924 act of Congress.Till 1938, according to what was seen, the psak was the right psak. It is easy to speak now after we see what happened — they did not know it would. In E.Yisroel, the Yidden needed miracles (and they got them) in 1942 and in 1948, and in 1967, and later. It is good they got them. It could have gone differently, though.
