WIY- First of all, this is a forum for discussion, not piskei halochoh, and questions snd opinions on anything are allowed. You may not agree with my questions or opinions,but you should not dismiss them so insultingly.
Second, whether the “halachatoday’ is a great talmid chochom is irrelevant if the questions are valid. And- even according to him-if you check the sources,you will note that he quotes “lekatchilas” and “bedieveds”. I do remember clearly the fact of a mechitza till the shoulder as being sufficient and I also remember a kuloh of ten tefochim. Maybe it was relying on Rav henkin zz’l who, by the way, was the possek of america before R”moshe.
If you check the source you mention, you will even see that he brings a psak from R’Moshe that allows to daven just by separation of the sexes, with mo mechitza. All this ‘bedieved’ of course, but you cannot dismiss these matters so cavalierly.
