anon1m0us, you have ignored my point and are desperately trying to justify the mistakes of MO with your obfuscations, which only leads you to make bigger mistakes.
The Torah can never be “modernized”. This was and is the main problem with MO theology. Accepting this fraudulent belief opens up a pandora’s box of other problems, like grafting Zionism on to, lihavdil, out holy Torah and many other terrible things in the name of modernity.
Our Torah is dynamic and applicable in all ages. It has no need for “modernization”. However, Rabbanim have had to deal with changing circumstances and apply the Torah’s rulings to those changes.
TIDE is a good example of this. How to regard electricity on shabbos is another.
None of these examples are problems because, as you wrote, it is done “…without violating the Torah”.
On the other hand, MO practices clearly do violate the Torah as mentioned above and can be confirmed by any who care to browse YU’s official blog.
Again, the Torah cannot be “modernized”, ch”V, but MO still thinks they can do so and MO standards are, therefore, lower.
