"Velo michu" is usually taken to mean that there was a hava amina
that something wrong was done, but the lack of actually protest
disproves it.

I gotta go with R' Garry on this -- the gemara is saying that the
chakhamim of David's generation did not find Mikhal bas Shaul's
tefillin wearing objectionable.

Tir'u baTov!
