Precisely the problem. The sad thing is they pimped out legitimate fields of science to do it, like quantum physics for example, and that's what's so intoxicatingly seductive to 'geeks like us'--and at the same time dangerous--about the TM mythos. If you do wed it to "real" physical sciences like physics, you can get people to believe that it's actually true. Dem der Vedic rishis were actually proto-quantum physicists of the unified field of all knowledge, that's what I learned in college!
