I certainly don't think they should change this: "In 1996, a US judge dismissed a civil suit for fraud in part because he said that the practice of the TM-Sidhi Program was a religion under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution." Or this: "According to Lola Williamson, some, including Charlie Lutz (sic), former President of the Spiritual Regeneration Movement, saw the introduction of the TM-Sidhi program and other "advanced techniques" as a financial ploy to increase income in the wake of declining public interest in TM." Or this: "Robert L. Park, professor of physics at the University of Maryland and author of the weekly science Internet column, What's New, attended a demonstration in 1999 that was presented at a press conference at the Washington, DC Press Club by physicist and Natural Law Party US Presidential candidate, John Hagelin. Park described 12 'fit-looking' young men who demonstrated levitation following a meditation session and 'popped up a couple of inches and thumped back down.' Park wrote that 'the scene looked like corn popping', and that 'there was nothing to suggest they didn't follow parabolic trajectories.'" Or this: "Physicist and skeptic Robert L. Park called the [1993 Washington D.C.] study a "clinic in data distortion". Park questioned the validity of the study by saying that during the weeks of the experiment Washington, D.C.'s weekly murder count hit the highest level ever recorded." So I guess what Card is suggesting is that TM TBs might want to go in and edit the Wikipedia article, performing data distortion on top of data distortion. :-)
