Doesn't mean Bnei Efraim was right just they couldn't pronounce the
difference just like some litvaks in the past.
Even if the Yeminites are correct it is difficult for a npn-yemenite to
speak like that - doesn't make it correct.
Many people have trouble with a gutteral chet again not necessarily correct
but the best they can do.
