RebbG,
To clue you in, since you keep harping on the same subject.
is that the only thing they didn’t follow Chofetz CHaim on?
He was against eating before blowing the shofar
He held they should wear long rather than shorter jacket
He told his grandsons reportedly that they should grow tchupps in front since with their beards and longer jackets shouldn’t come to be confused for chassidim!
