Derech Hamelech – I find it easier to believe that someone can give over a report that they have heard (he simply says “shomati” and not that it was something that he knows to be the case) and be mistaken about its validity than all the mental contortions that you have to go through to believe that the Rambam was chozer. I mean, apart from all the questions I’ve asked you (to which you have offered no response) there is the issue of the Ramabam controversy which, if you are correct, should have been very easily sorted out by someone standing up and saying “it’s alright, he was chozer.” And yet it took decades to sort, during which time nobody even thought about saying this, instead the Ramban had to make it clear that those were the Rambam’s shittos and he was entitled to them. So the controversy that could have ended because of the supposed chazoro ended because the Ramban said that the shittos that the Rambam was supposedly chozer from were his shittos that could not be denied validity. Again, seems a little strange.
Furthermore it seems like even after the Abarbanel nobody really believed that the Rambam was chozer; the Gra, for instance, had a lot to say on the Rambam’s shittos on the supernatural and doesn’t mention the chazoro. Nor do any of the seforim that deal with Moreh Nevuchim, nor the nosei keilim on Sefer Hamadah, nor pretty much any sefer that quotes the Rambam’s shittos.
Please explain how you find all this, and what I have asked above, easier to understand than simply someone (granted an exceptional someone) making one mistake. Doesn’t your position entail believing that all these people – R’ Avraham ben HaRamban, the Ramban, Ra’avad III, Rabbeinu Yonah, everyone else involved in that controversy, the Gra, all the nosei keilim etc. etc. etc. – made multiple mistakes? And yet you find that easier to believe than one or two people making one mistake?!
