You overestimate my self-awareness. I'm just telling you what my minyan
does. I didn't actually consider issues of right-and-wrong.

Off the cuff, it's obviously wrong -- but perhaps necessary on work-days
-- to have the tzibbur rush in taking off their tefillin. Lack of kavod.
RYBS held that it's better to continue wearing one's tefillin through
mussaf than to not put them fully away before davening. At least, if
one isn't saying "Keser". He was less sure for those davening Sfard,
not giving a definitive pesaq (as I remember my father repeating it).
