Innovate - If expert and qualified, we use our skills to extrapolate and reason the right thing to do
Follow - We follow the decision of the majority of experts on the topic
Imitate - We copy what we see others do
Adopt - we study with an expert and observe their life to integrate and fully adopt the way they reason and live, even when different from halachik orthodoxly
This episode highlights the differences on the Daf.
