Not bloody likely.  :-)  Those who have bought into
TM being "the highest teaching" would never lower
themselves to try anything else.

If they're right, they stick with the "highest teach-
ing" forever, and avoid "lesser" techniques. If they're 
wrong, they stick with the first thing they learned
and never learn anything more.  The question would seem
to be whether the sense of elitism is jutified, whether 
TM really is "the highest teaching" or merely the "ABCs" 
of spiritual practice, being *sold* as "the highest 
teaching."  If it IS the "highest teaching," good deal...
the practitioner has avoided wasting time with other 
techniques and teachings.  If it's not, the practitioner 
spends an entire lifetime learning the alphabet while 
others have moved on to enjoying literature.
