I’m more surprised than offended that you’d accuse me of dishonesty.
not at all sure what you are referring to, I don’t see anything of the sort in my post (nor my intent).
regarding the rest, I have no doubt you are more learned than I am (my words, not yours) since you have learned inside, and my knowledge comes from either a call to the Rav, or a question to my husband. If the Rav says yes, I cannot justify it for you, but I can stand my ground on it.
The joke is, I just asked my son (he happens to be home sick) which of the Rebbeim said they can use headphones and he said he himself never heard it from a Rav, he heard it third hand from a bachur. ahh, the wonders of broken telephone.
And lastly, regarding
Unless your son . . . relies on . . . daas yachid
Although I find Daas Yochid to be a knowledgeable poster, I would never rely on him 🙂
