Well, "enlightened" is such a vague term. Fred Travis' studies on enlightened TMers (preliminary CC) don't assert that they are perfect, only that they report a certain kind of internal "experience" and that there is a physiological pattern associated with the self-reports. It says nothing about whether they are correct in everything that they do. That was Maharishi's thing: to assert that enlightened people (meeting his definition) were going to be perfect in some way. As for spin-doctoring, this assertion from you has no basis in fact, but is merely your desire to show that Maharishi was a bad person, rather than merely wrong about something... Finally, there is a perfect metaphor for the TM True Believers who have to invent fantasies of persecution at the hands of "ant-TM" and "anti-Maharishi" critics to get through another day of self-importance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJgMueh-zLM
