Welll.... Since he doesn't mention the ME in the title OR the body of the text, perhaps you're reading something into it that isn't there? No, you're right. He clearly is defending the ME: "This effect can not be explained by the increased population of the meditators in the town at that time. The following population figures from the Census Bureau for the transition period, which were used in calculating the crime rates for Fairfield for those years, show that an increase in the population figures cannot explain the reduction in crime rate."
