in days of yonder, it cost a lot of money to reproduce a book. thus, only those many believed would be profitable because of its rich content were bothered to be reproduced. hence, a natural evolutionary/survival of the fittest science ensured us that the seforim contained legitimate content. today, it costs almost nothing to print a book and any idiot with a computer can put one together. hence, if you come across something from the contemporary period, you needn’t always give it much credence. in other words, not all “late achronim” have anything valuable to offer am yisoel and yiddishkeit.
