why is everything written by Ahla Hazarat ra considered by some individuals bullet proof for Sunniat?
the reason why anyone asks this kind of stupid questions is simply because of compound ignorance. people who don't even the capacity to pronounce the names of alahazrat's books and understand the meaning of words used by him, question his standing!
this is like someone asking, 'why is the collection of bukhari considered as the most sound book after the qur'an?' the poor jahil has no clue of hadith sciences nor the reason why bukhari's collection is superior to other collections even though there are hadith scholars far greater than bukhari himself.
why is everything written by Ahla Hazarat ra considered by some individuals bullet proof for Sunniat?
because experience has showed that his fidelity in transmission of the position of ahl as-sunnah scholars is unmatched in these latter times. and therefore, he is the true representative of the jam'ah. alahazrat's saying is not like some maulvis in our age who snip quotes here and there and do not even cite properly - or internet formites whose knowlege is mainly gained by forums and youtube.
i have used a similar example before: when a donkey chances upon precious stones and diamonds, it doesn't find them of any value; it would be far more interested in finding fruit peelings or scraps perhaps. but when a lapidarist sees them, he rushes to scoop them and the donkey might be excused for wondering - 'what is gotten into him? he is picking up stones and things that are not even edible!' suppose it is not a donkey, but only a village idiot who has no idea of precious stones; even he would find this behavior of the lapidarist quite amusing.
only a jeweler can possibly assess the value of diamonds; not a street hawker who has spent his life peddling stale vegetables.

can anyone bring a point-by-point refutation of alahazrat - whether in quotation or derivation in religious* matters? hypothetically, yes. as he is not a prophet, he is not ma'sum; so yes, the possibility of his making mistakes is there. but don't generalize this - show where alahazrat has erred and be objective about this.
the reason why i consider him as bullet-proof (actually i consider him proof) for sunniyat is because, i haven't come across any of his citation which is flawed or disputed or out-of-context. i have even cross-checked his references in hundreds of books (spread across various fatawa and books.) secondly, he is bullet-proof because, not just plastic bullets, even hard-metal bullets aimed by heresies, ricochet off you when you use his research as a shield.
the light of sunnah is protected by the
kevlar of a scholar, sub'HanAllah.
alahazrat is found to be reliable and trustworthy again and again, unlike speakers/'scholars' in our times, who are touted as 'leaders of sunnis' who make basic errors and are routinely inaccurate when they quote something. illa maa shaa Allah.

a person who is skilled in CPR, cannot be equated with heart-surgeon who has been doing surgery for 50 years and has thousands of successful open-heart surgeries behind him. who would a person go to consult when he has chest pain? a heart-surgeon or a local nurse who is skilled in CPR?
and why blame him if he goes to the skilled heart surgeon? and scorn him if he trust him and opens his heart to him and allows the surgeon to wield his scalpel upon his heart?

Allah ta'ala knows best.
*fiqh, hadith, usul, aqidah etc. however, in secular sciences (astronomy, mathematics etc,) alahazrat might have been incorrect or might be disproved according to latest research, and when compared to newer data available in our times.
