Thats fine. I cannot prove, provide studies, that show it is
effective. You may feel it is not, I may feel it is.
The second dimension of the discussion is whether MMY uses such a
technique on the inner circle, and larger circles to a lesser degree,
and that this provides a quite rational explanation for what many view
as "bizzare" behavior. You may feel it does not, I feel it does. No
studies or sworn depositions by MMY to prove the point, so reasonable
people may disagree. Or I may have observed thngs that you have not,
which shapes my opinion.
A third dimension is my claim that I have experienced benefit from the
above, (outer circles) and from parallel phenomenon when something in
which I have had massive vassanic investment, was lost. You may claim
I recieved no benefit from such. In such a case, I would state you
have no basis for such a position.
