It is extremely critical to realize that all of our opinions on every matter are based on unstated, unspoken premises - many of which, WE OURSELVES are not aware of.
It is worthwhile considering this before bashing Rabbonim for statements they make.
Our *strongly held opinions* are merely our PERSONAL narrative which need not obligate others. This is important both in the realm of our mental health and our Hashkafas Olam. Our views reflect our upbringing, our family, our teachers, our friends, our social media feed, our natural inclinations etc. Objective truth מאן דכר שמיה.
There is but ONE absolute truth which is held by Hashem alone and as He dictated to Moshe Rabbeinu, the Neviim and that Chazal revealed to us ברוח קדשם. That is ONE REASON why we should learn more and do other things less important - less.
