Barry is a very nice guy and a serious research scientist. He is critiquing the TM research, not trying to discredit it. This is frequently confounded by the MUM "scientists". Barry is not part of the TMO cult so his thinking is a little clearer without a pro TM agenda. He's asking for the research to be more rigorous to come to the conclusions that MUM arrives at. > > > > > > Don't know about that.
