This assumes, wrongly IMO, that the people doing the giving want phony, "glowing" reports--in effect, mood-making over anything of substance. When I was a donor I would have given anything for a little honesty. It was the feeling of donating to a seriously flawed cause and to people who refused to deal with anything like reality that caused me to eventually stop. I doubt I was the only one.

folks on Purusha and MD cannot be really honest about their own feelings. They are pretty
much "forced" to give glowing, blissful reports so that their donors continue to contribute. 
Donations would dry up if the donor thought things weren't just great or complained or
ever expressed misgivings. And the Purousha and MD people know that, even if
subconsciously. This cycle perpetuates itself.
