[Avodah] Learning on Shavuos - Two Scenarios

[M Cohen]

RYL wrote  .Someone told me that Reb Moshe and other gedolim (whom he did
not name) did not stay up all night learning. I am pretty sure that Rav A.
Miller also did not stay up all night learning. He went to sleep at his
regular bedtime, around 11 PM.

 

I don't know what this comment is supposed to show. 

Their personal actions are not the issue - I highly doubt that RMF
discouraged his yeshiva (or RAM when he was machgiach in yeshiva)

 from the common custom to stay up all night learning.

 

btw, this comment is irrespective of the fact that I agree that there is no
chiyuv to stay up all night, and that an individual may certainly decide to
sleep instead.

My disagreement with you is that you imply that the current minhag is wrong,
or should be changed.
