Quick fact check: Barry's referring to me, since I was the only person to have commented other than Buck. The "demonization" he's referring to: I (accurately) suggested he was indulging in "confirmation bias" and "cherry-picking." How many times has Barry accused others, TMers in particular, of these two sins? As to "never dealing with the question"--au contraire, I addressed Barry's main basis for his "theory" that the TMO doesn't want to test the ME: that MMY himself purportedly didn't believe in it. So an instance of hypocrisy, and then a lie. > The bottom line is the same now as it's always been. > If there were a *real* desire to "make the numbers," > and thus put the concept of the Maharishi Effect to > the test, it could be done at any time.

The issue here: Are there other possible "bottom lines" that Barry isn't considering, or is this the only one? Barry apparently didn't bother to read Hagelin's latest, posted here a few days ago, which announced a new influx of pundits. Which pretty much demolishes Barry's notion that the TMO is trying to sabotage the dome numbers.
