Wow!! Like manna from heaven
I have long contended, publicly here many times, that rgp is nothing more than a לץ with a search engine.

If anything it makes it stronger as it clearly states ”Tefillin “phylacteries”, are composed of two teffilos,”’
I don’t know the author of that but that is exactly what the op asked about

Didn’t even realize it’s not addressing the question.
What a laugh
