C'mon Vaj, in my case interpreting the word "work" in your post as meaning effort was simply because that was the way I read it. No intent to twist or massage meaning there. You posted a correction to clarify the meaning of your statement and then I understood what your original intent was. End of story, or maybe it's more like the same story. You are a smart guy and I understand the frustration smart people feel when their unpopular yet intellectually and factually sound reasoning is disagreed with on a level that indicates it was never really understood in the first place. But we are hanging out in the peanut gallery here and provocative statements are going to generate defensive replies. People or groups displaying arrogant behaviour are sooner or later going to get nailed and that is the beauty of these forums. Anyone can step forward regardless of stature or demeanor and speak the truth or at least their idea of the truth and possibly expose myths. It's great, but when someone walks in and starts telling people that their sincere practice of many years is pretty much bullshit and will never really lead them anywhere other than a nice fuzzy feeling in their head, well it's just not very attractive.
