Maharishi was acting on whims, as he always did. Whether or not what he taught was perfect, entirely guided by the three goons, is at question here, IMO. What Maharishi did distorted the teachings if the interpretation of the teachings had gotten off the path. So now we're back to one of the seminal arguments on FFL: was Maharishi acting in an undistorted way from the home of all the laws of Nature or wasn't he.
