That's the same old tired misinterpretation of Patañjali! Everyone should believe by now, that the demonstrative pronoun "te" in "te samaadhaav upasargaa..." apparently refers MAINLY to the siddhis mentioned in the previous suutra. Why would Patañjali present e.g. tha flying suutra (aakaasha-gamanam) *after* that "disclaimer", if it applied to all the siddhis?
