THAT seems naive to me..
I have to suggest that you get out into the real world more. :-) I can assure you that if the experiments you suggest were done exactly as you suggest that the majority of the world's scientists would assume that they were faked and disregard them, and that an even higher percentage of the population would do likewise. You really don't seem to understand intellectual inertia very well. People will do ANYTHING to continue believing what they already believe. They will do ANYTHING to avoid believing that which challenges what they already believe. Just look at this forum. If you produced "scientific proof" of Maharishi boinking a bunch of women, with video of him whipping out his dick and leaping on them, the whole bunch of them wired up to equipment that measured the quality and duration of their orgasms, you *know* that a certain percentage of people here and elsewhere in the TM movement would declare it all a fake. The issue is CHANGE. Very, very few people in this world actually want to change. They talk and talk and talk about how they want to change, but all they do is talk, because that keeps the change from happening. And I don't think I'm being cynical here, merely realistic.
