Actually, a successful entrepreneur's #1 tenet is: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. TM works...and the way it was marketed to the world back in the mid '70s worked...then someone messed with that successful formula by: 1) fraudulently promoting the flying technique; 2) messing unethically with scientific data; 3) starting political parties and enjoining them with the TMO; 4) selling soap and candy bars with the name/brand most associated with the TM program; 5) generally making the TMO a cult.
