It's really too bad Lawson isn't still around to cite chapter and verse and nip this kind of crap in the bud. When he was here, Vaj couldn't get away with making such bogus claims without challenge. Wallace didn't "fudge" anything. He did get some things wrong in this early research, which he subsequently corrected. You'll notice that when Vaj wants to badmouth TM research, he'll frequently pick on the early studies when they were still trying to figure out how to test this stuff, as if the TM researchers hadn't gone to great lengths in later years to refine their methods.
