So who says the halacha is like them?  Why must your guest follow their
psak?  Even if they were the majority, your guest would have every right
to follow a minority psak that the eruv is kosher; kol shekein when their
position is that of a distinct minority of poskim.   R Moshe openly
acknowledged that he was a daas yochid on this matter, and that nobody
had to obey him.

In any event, if you live south of the railway between Aves I and J,
then that eruv may be good even according to R Moshe, since it doesn't
rely on the streets not being a reshus horabim de'oraisa.
