rob: Chas V’shalom. R’ Moshe is still the Mara D’asra of America and will probably remain that way until someone like him arises or there are major sociological shifts that require someone new to address them. I guarantee you that you don’t dismiss his Kulos out of hand. And most of his Chumros that are currently ignored weren’t held like him in his lifetime either (ask R’ Schachter some time why we’re allowed to go against him in Eruvin). It takes incredibly broad shoulders to go against him on anything, and it is nearly impossible to argue on him on something that the Tzibbor was Noheg like him. Everyone, with a tiny number of exceptions, accepted his 18 Tefach minimum Mechitzah.
