I distinctly remember when R. Avigdor Miller learned the gemara that 
says that one does not make a bracha on the succah on Shemini 
Atzeres,  but one should eat in the succah on ST. A fellow who was at 
the shiur raised his hand and said,  "What about the minhag to not 
eat in the succah on ST?"  R Miller responded categorically,  "There 
is no such minhag!" The fellow was taken aback and again asked the 
same question, and the response was the same.
