TMB, you are back peddling, that’s not the same thing and you know it! You do not make a Halachic or Hashkafic decision in those cases at all. You are making an opinionated choice whether you prefer a one button jacket to a two button, or whether you choose oatmeal today versus an egg, or whether you choose salmon for lunch versus tuna. There is no hashkafa or halacha that covers that choice you are just trying to be “right” and you are not making any sense so much so that you are being ridiculous. Is your need to be right so strong that you will argue any point to death?
Should we then ask a Rav if your choice of breakfast or what you choose to wear is a hashkafik or halachic decision or is it a matter of pure preference, opinion and choice? I know, maybe we should ask a therapist and a Rav because this is really a mind game. I don’t care if you are right or wrong on any given topic. And if you are right kol hakovod you are entitled to be right. But why is it so important that you will go to any length even to the point of absurdity? Some issues are just plain a matter of opinion or choice because they are not that important. Important issues probably do have more of a footing and basis in hashkafa and halacha, I won’t argue that point with you because in most cases you are probably right, but not in ALL cases.
