Autonomous Halacha ruling as a value

Hello Rabbi,
I recently heard in one of your lessons from the Confusions of the Generation series that the origin of the value of autonomous halakhic rulings stems from examples in the Gemara in which there is a violation of the ruling autonomy of others. From there I understood that there is a value in not violating one's own ruling autonomy by deferring to great rabbis. But as for violating one's own autonomy, there is no violation here at all, because when a person violates his own autonomy, it is a violation of authority.
 
I thought that the logic of autonomous rulings could be explained by the fact that in this way there is protection against the entrenchment of ruling errors that arise as a result of the ruling of one great rabbi, which causes a chain effect of the rabbis who come after him to align with the ruling of the first, even if most of them think differently. In addition, it can protect against hidden typographical errors in the rulings of the first. Therefore, in fact, I argue that there is no value in autonomous halachic rulings in themselves, but rather that they are only a means to get closer to halachic truth. What do you think, and are there additional foundations for the value of autonomous rulings beyond the examples of the type I mentioned above.
Best regards,
