Do you have the authority to disagree with great rabbis?

In a conversation with Nadav Sherav, a thought suddenly occurred to me that really bothers me. Both you and Nadav disagree without blinking about the great men of the present and past generations on halachic issues. These are people who have been studying the Talmud and Halacha for decades, day after day, for hours upon hours, they lead a completely different lifestyle than yours, are hardly interested in anything beyond that, and are up to their necks in all the intricacies of Torah and Halacha.

If they had a doctorate and a professorship in the field of Torah, there is no doubt that they would have reached these ranks easily. (I am talking about those like the Chazo, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein and many others like them).

I'm asking not only from a halakhic-Jewish-Torah perspective, but more from a professional and logical perspective, does it seem right to you that an outstanding physics student would disagree with you in the field, no matter how talented he may be? In other words, you can always come up with a reason and reasoning that is opposite to yours, but at the same time, he should understand his place and his lack of knowledge and seniority in the field compared to those who have done a lot of mileage in the field…

In our case too, we are often dealing with people who know the Talmud almost by heart, both Babylonian and Jerusalem, remember hundreds of versions, formulas, interpretations and thousands of commentators, and when they come to rule on one issue, they go through tractates that contain a point that is somehow related to that issue, etc., etc.

I think you have two advantages over them, anyway. A. Courage. There is no doubt that their discussion and thinking are bound within a very clear framework, without the possibility of truly innovating anything revolutionary.

on. Scientific knowledge that often has implications for various laws and regulations.

At the same time, in issues that concern solely the Torah-Halakhic aspect, I wonder if it is not appropriate to take a step back and give a platform to those whose entire lives and livelihoods are the study of Torah and Halakhic law?

You don't need authority to disagree with anyone. Beyond the Sanhedrin, there is no body or person that has formal authority. All that remains is the fear of making a mistake, since it is likely that great rabbis make fewer mistakes. To this I say that even if this is true, there is an autonomous duty to rule as you yourself understand, even if you are wrong. See my article on autonomy:
