Those are both anecdotes.

(BTW, it was a pretty MO shteibl. We had more professors and other PhDs
than you can shake a stick at. R/Dr SZ Leiman, R/Dr David Berger, Rs/Drs
Steiner, Rs/Drs Sachat, progessors of Asronomy, Physics (R/Dr Herbert
Goldstein, likely author of you physics textbook), Topology...)

What is data is that the MB and the AhS agree that a minyan should
not be mixed between tefillin wearers and not.

Tir'u baTov!
