Reply To: About the RCA, I do shudder.

Ok, so your distinction then is that you only should listen to rabbonim about things that are objective, but not things which are subjective.

What do you mean by objective and subjective? Do you mean that there is a right and wrong answer? Do you mean that people might reasonably disagree?

The recent controversy on the Israeli draft is obviously objective in that there is a right and wrong answer. But reasonable people could disagree about it.

Most halachic questions are also subject to the same dynamic.
