Well, turq, all these are reasonable and proven enough for me. As I said to the Jehovah Witnesses decades ago, I might be wrong in my conclusions, but based thus far on my personal experience, I think TM is a very good thing to do rather than being the work of the devil which is what they thought.

It does seem to have had, from the beginning, the connotation of defending a belief or idea that is somewhat unreasonable and or unproveable. Share, I would say that if you add the word "compulsively" before the word "defending...," you've nailed it exactly in your last phrase. Or do you actually believe that claiming to be able to teach people to fly or that bouncing around on one's butt can affect crime rates or the weather or that charging people tens of thousands of dollars to have brown boys chant to Hindu gods to heal their ills and make their businesses prosper are either "reasonable" or "provable?" :-)
