So you're saying it was book knowledge combined with trial and error, 
rather than any real knowledge from that tradition? That certainly 
verifies what those who sought traditional knowledge of Patanjali have 
found.

they were released was because of a money crunch, despite the fact that 
there was a fore-admission that they were for materialists?
