This comes from the next sequential lecture in the "How to Pasken Halacha" series - given on 20 Jan 13. What is interesting is that R Rakefet-Rothkoff uses the Lubavitcher Rebbe as an example of the "other end of the spectrum" holding exactly the same views about kitvei yad (manuscripts) as the Chazon Ish.
