For_real: You are not comparing equal matters. You listen to the psak of a Rov concerning kashrus,etc. because he KNOWS the halacho- NOT because (as you write) ‘his opinion matters to you” A psak halocho ,based on shulchan aruch, has nothing to do with opinion and everything to do with how one sees the halocho. What is at stake here is a OPINION on a matter that cannot be found in halocho- hence the flexibility of not adhering to it.
