As an editor, I get such a kick out of the rhetorical messes Barry creates for himself. The sound of the words is more important to him than whether they actually make any sense. Vaj is suggesting that the TMers Barry described in the paragraph Vaj is responding to *don't* have the courage to deviate from their scripts. So Barry is in effect saying to Vaj, You may believe many TMers don't have that courage, but in fact many TMers don't have that courage. Er... "I think it's important every so often to remember..." Gee, Barry, think you could come up with something just a little more pompous and empty?
