Man-o-man you are one confused rabbi of berlin!

What rabbi goren did is exactly what YOU said cannot be done– invalidate a psak of another bais din. In fact he did it twice:

he invalidated the gerus accepted by a bais din (and the psak of the bais din that did the gerus) and also invalidated a psak that his wife’s children were mamzerim. In doing so he made a ger shomer mitsvos into a non-jew,

a woman who married without a get into a kashera, and her children into ksherim. Just what YOU said he had no authority to do!

you are inconsistent and your thinking is confused.

Also it is outrageous to imply that Rav Moshe used really invalid reasons to permit a mamzer. You called them ‘outlandish’ but that is what you implied. In at least one tshuva he answered that there was no question to deal with, the subject (or subjects, I forget) were obviously mamzerim. He rejected the valiant tries of the Rav who asked the shaila, basically calling them (without using the word) ridiculous. You would have called them outlandish resons and thought they should have been used.
