Well, actually I think you have a really odd way
of interpreting it.  Self-serving, even.

Or *apparent* evidence.  It's really pretty
amusing that you're so sure the TM researchers
"massaged" the data to show results that didn't
exist, yet you can't conceive of a hostile
researcher "massaging" data that shows real
results so it ends up looking as if there are
none.

I don't know whether the TM researchers fudged
the data when they "massaged" it.  I do know that
they had very good reason not to give the data to
Markovsky even if the massaging was legitimate and
the results were genuine and everything was pure
as the driven snow, because he had the motivation
and the knowhow to make it *look* like garbage.

Because Markovsky had his own bullets and powder,
of course.

Did you read what I said about Markovsky having
complained--in a scholarly journal, yet, as well
as endlessly on alt.m.t--that the TM researchers
were unethical because they didn't obtain informed
consent from the populations they were trying to
affect?

Does that say "objective and unbiased" to you?
