And you were there when Tat Wale Bab said this? Seriously, MMY's techniques are what he decided would work based on his understanding and intuition about the Yoga Sutras. I don't believe he's ever claimed that Guru Dev taught him anything remotely like the TM-SIdhis techniques, so why insist that they fit the bill of someone who didn't learn from GUru Dev (as far as I know) anyway?
