It's not a matter of "any," it's a matter of "enough" to make a valid comparison. TM and the TM-Sidhis are particularly dicey in that regard. > If so, then MMY and a million TMO teachers must have > been wrong.

I'd suggest that with most other techniques, the "enough" bar I mentioned above is considerably lower than it is for TM. That isn't to say by any means that TM teachers get everything about the other techniques 100 percent right, but that they probably get closer than someone who had never learned TM would be able to come to getting TM 100 percent right.
