Well all these questions you are asking are suppose to be rhetorical questions , right? But things are more complicated and detailed than these. Sahabas were definitely better than us ...But Qur'an supercedes everything and everyone. Sahabas probably had specific reasons for doing what they did? Sometimes , they probably had to make decisions that they would not have made under normal circumstances? There are so many details around this subject. So please specifically ask what you want to ask...
