Therefore Moshe's position is a fraud. Rabbi Joseph D. Soloveitchik discussed this issue in 1973. The Rav was upset by a common occurrence. Many orthodox synagogues had religious services committees that usurped the rabbi's role as halachic authority. Korach was the example he felt best personified this affront.
Science progresses by overturning conventional wisdom.
Everyone told Galileo he was a fool when he said two items fall at the same rate even though they have different weights. That's counterintuitive, but correct. Einstein challenged our credulity by saying that light emanating from a moving source and a stationary source move at the same speed. Illogical, but true. The halachic process is not afforded the same respect.
