This is a really good point. In fact if you extend this further, you will notice that many of the pro-TMO comments--despite the vast evidence to the contrary--are just "conditioning". Some of it may represent post-hypnotic suggestion. Typical conditioned response include: -TM is the highest or fastest meditation technique there is. -Maharishi is enlightened -anyone who leaves is leaving the "fastest boat" -don't look at the real setting or tradition you (are alleged to) come from, it will just confuse you. -wealth = evolution The list goes on...
