However, all this may not make much of a difference, since an actual yogic flyer would be far and away the best advertising possible, and I think a legitimate and convincing demonstration in possible in the near future, and then it won't matter how messed up the movement is -- MMY used to say that the time would come when people would be banging on the doors of TM teachers late at night demanding to be initiated -- yogic fliers on the evening news (actually flying) would certainly fulfill that forecast.
