Bill, I think your observation is interesting, especially when we have to take into account the murder at MUM a couple of years ago. MUM doesn't seem to be any different from any other academic setting. They all have theft, cheating, even murders. It really does seem like the real Mahesh Effect is to take credit for the accomplishments of others and blame others when things don't seem to satisfy Mahesh's predictions. I have asked Rick to post the PDF of the File I alluded to earlier. I have also posted a Word document of some other "real" science evaluations of the MishMash Effect. What really works is TM, especially when done in group and course setting: it simply creates the ideal situation for the implant of Maheshism.
