That SIL isn’t reliable regarding Rav Moshe. He’s on the record as citing Rav Moshe for things that turned out to be patently not correct. There’s even a letter from Rav Moshe Sherer calling out numerous instances, both during Rav Moshe’s lifetime and afterwards, when he distorted the view of Rav Moshe. Rabbi Sherer confronted him in Rav Moshe’s presence about one such instance when he had deceived NYS legislators about Rav Moshe’s view, after which Rav Moshe had a letter written on MTJ’s letterhead informing the legislator that his view was the opposite of what his SIL claimed.
