Well, that's sorta the point, dude. For people who are part of many other organizations that teach meditation, it would never occur to them to think that their particular brand of meditation was "the best" or "better" than all others. The *reason* this would not have occurred to them is that, unlike in the TMO, they were never *told* that their technique was "the best," over and over and over and over and over and over, for years and years and decades. The latter approach is called brainwashing, dude. That the people who have been subjected to it believe that their technique is "best" says nothing whatsoever about the technique, only about the effectiveness of the brainwashing. True Believers are *created*. They don't just happen. You believe that TM is "the best" because you've been TOLD that so often, for so many years. And sadly, you still don't realize this...
