OF course, it could also be that they only wanted to examine 
peoplewho were ONLY practicing TM and the TM sidhis. In fact, were I 
to want to set up a study on TMers examining the longterm effects of 
TM, rather than a longintudinal randomized study, etc., I would 
probably use those people as well. They're the most likely to be 
rgular, most likely to have positive results, and most likely to only 
be practicing TM and the TM-sidhis.

And, as long as you make it clear in your study that you're selecting 
from a self-selected group of people, there's absolutely nothing 
unethical or unscientific about using such a group.
