A question – so what if I do not confront the Rav?

It could be that I am just full of myself in certain area of halakha or chochma and I don’t think Rav feels the same or I have more serious reasons. Let’s say I respect him in many aspects and his deep Torah learning, but I recognize his limitations? For example, he would not pasken against his roshei yeshovos directly even as his learnign in general is wider than theirs; or he will be in a difficult social position if the psak goes against community parnasim; or the psak will cause mahlokes if publicized – and he may not trust me to keep the secret psak…

So, in the case where I am able to confront but do not – do I still have a license to carry my own opinion?
