So yes, I know it first hand the cultlike mentatlity of Aikido.

It's also the reason why I get so vehement about Martial Arts that are more like Cults than anything else.
I can see your point I watched a show on one of the discovery channels, these two scientists disprove things and one of them was that. This master in Italy was throwing guys around and then when it was the scientists turn he went no where. It reminds me of those preachers that make people shake and tremble when they put their hand on their heads . lol In 2007 we are probably coming to your neck of the woods to shoot.I will let you know maybe you can have a cup of coffee with the wife and I .
