This is not intended to disparage MO as I personally owe a debt of gratitude for MO and its contributions to my life. But the argument goes that while TIDE is a basis for MO, it is different. The Breuer's community in Washington Heights kept a distance from Yeshiva University and had its reasons for that. What were they? How is TIDE different from MO in your view?

Wikipedia says this:
The movement is somewhat distant from Modern Orthodoxy. Schwab regards Modern Orthodoxy as having misinterpreted Hirsch's ideas: regarding standards of halakha as well as the relative emphasis of Torah versus secular; see discussion under Torah Umadda. Further, Breuer, influenced by Hirsch's philosophy on Austritt (secession), "could not countenance recognition of a non-believing body as a legitimate representative of the Jewish people". For this reason, he was "unalterably opposed to the Mizrachi movement, which remained affiliated with the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency".
