Nice one, Dan, but I think it should be written:
[(3&7=6)r1c289-(6=3&7)r3c169]-3r3c8,-7r1c4; ste

Still struggling with and and ors and nots.
How about
[(3|7=6)r1c289-(6=3&7)r3c169]-3r3c8,-7r1c4; ste

I don't think so, Dan. The first term, as you've written it above, says that if neither 3 nor 7 is true in the set ((3 or 7) is false), then the set must contain a 6. It's not possible for neither three nor seven to be true, as that would leave only 2 candidates in a 3 cell set. However, if either 3 is false or 7 is false ((3 and 7) is false), then the set must contain a 6. Hence, the & . Your chain overall is saying if we don't have both 3 and 7 in the first set then we do have both 3 and 7 in the second set. That assures your deletions.

[(3|7=6)r1c289
This tells me if 3 or 7 is missing in r1c289 then a 6 must be present.
3 and 7 missing is meaningless since one of the must be present along with the 2 and 6
For this reason I normally leave these signs out making the notation
[(37=6)r1c289-(6=37)r3c169]-3r3c8,-7r1c4; ste
works both ways
