Halachic autonomy in debt to the latter
Is halachic autonomy powerful enough to permit harming another, or does one who wants to harm his fellow man with permission have to rely on common law (or on a bet that such is the true law in heaven). For example, he studied and came to the conclusion (against accepted law) that in a certain situation it is obligatory to beat his fellow man to the point of being forbidden, is he permitted to beat him? And what if there is a mitzvah upon him, such as he came to the conclusion (against accepted law) that he must circumcise his son today and not postpone circumcision because of a certain danger? Is the aforementioned friend or the baby entitled to claim that he has done so according to common law and not because he has a personal opinion?
