[Avodah] tefillin on chol hamoed

[Eli Turkel]

<<From http://tinyurl.com/3nkfhyr

We see from this story how firm the great Rav Akiva Eiger was that
one must follow the pesak of the RAMAH and wear tefillin on chol
hamoed, that he got his Chassidishe son in law to do so as well. Rav
Akiva Eiger was aware of those who felt otherwise, but he insisted
that the Pesak of the RAMA must be carried out. And we see the
greatness of the son in law as well.>>

I was confused by the purpose of the story.
R Chaim Soloveitchik was reported to be very much against wearing tefillin
on chol hamoed.
So someone who wants to prove a point can pick his gadol and ignore the
others
