Yup. Saw the same phenomenon a few times myself during that era. I think that people within the movement are such suckers for anything flashy that they think every- one else is, too. But the reality is that most people want their "miracles" safely locked away in books where they don't have to deal with them. Not only is the idea of TMers being able truly levitate (if it had been true) not a turn-on to such people, it's such a turn-off that I've seen people literally run out of the room.
