There's something about this that I've never understood. Suppose a
person is having a stomach problem -- isn't he supposed to refrain
from wearing tefillin? So, in a shul, a guy is not wearing tefillin
-- how do we even know what his reason is? (In fact, I think I
recall hearing that R Moshe himself didn't wear tefillin many times
towards the end of his life for this reason).
So, of all the things regarding lo sisgadedu -- why tefillin? Why
not all the other things that daveners wear differently? (E.g.,
different minhagim via-a-vis wearing a tallis before marriage?)
