I agree, in fact, my intuition is that meditation is probably beneficial. And I suspect that might be demonstrable scientifically, though it would be tough, and probably quite vague at best. I was only reacting to the over-hyped claims about this modality. The downvotes I think are because the people who are reading are more likely to be invested in it enough to trawl through the comments, and anything that suggests disbelief, even if not read properly, is automatically anathema.
