I did not make up the concept of hamevazeh talmeidai chachomim, ein lahem chelek li’olam haba; the Gemara (brought down li’halacha by the Rambam) did. The fact that this does not apply to Saul Lieberman hardly disproves the entire idea.
Who says it doesn’t apply? You? The “Gedolim”? Which ones? Does it apply to Rabbi Avi Weiss? Rabbi Malkiel Kotler? Rabbi Norman Lamm? Rabbi Yitzchak Elchonon Spektor? Rabbi Abaye?
Who? And who decides?
