[Avodah] halacha vs minhag

[Eli Turkel via Avodah]

I found another case for a difference between minhag and psak

Most poskim say that the cohen's hands should be outside the tallit during
birkhat kohanim.
One proof is the minhag not to look at the chohen's hands. If his hands are
inside the tallit then this custom is meaningless.

Nevertheless the overwhelming minhag is for the cohen's hands to be inside
the tallit.
A look at any picture of the mass birkhat cohanim at the kote show all the
cohanim with hands under the tallit
