Yet another reason to keep the access to the Domes strictly limited to people we know are doing TM. The valid points you bring forward are only scratching the surface, further research will show the dramatic uniqueness of Transcendental Meditation compared to other techniques. And who knows, on day even Buck will understand the need for the strictess possible rules of access to the Domes :-)
