No. Rav Kotler was already great by then- it goes to show that history has often been whitewashed and chumros have entered the mainstream. Why can’t you understand that?
And the difference between Daas yehudis and Moshe is very chashuv- I’m surprised you’d shrug that off so easily. I suppose your just trying to cover up your own ignorance of Halacha, rav Broyde, and your own discomfort with how Judaism has changed.
