Rabbeniu writes to him that he had immeditaley written an article for Hatzofeh denying the implication and delivered a speech on the subject during a conference of Mossad Harav Kook: ”סהדי במרומים כי נלחמתי ממש עם חבורה ידועה של תנועתנו, שרוצים לפרש את מוסר התורה ע”פ רעיונות שצצו ועלו בתקופה האחרונה...”. Rabbeinu also notes the instruction given by the Gaon Rabbi Chaim Ozer not to conduct arguments on matters of faith in the media: ”ותלה עצמו באילן גדול, הגאון ר' חיים עוזר זצ”ל, שהזהיר תמיד... פולמוס עתונות בעניני אמונה בתורה...”.
