It’s perfectly valid to assume that the layperson has no clear understanding of what meditation - especially in the Western context - actually is. They tend to picture it as a religious practice tied to Hinduism: sitting still in lotus position, chanting a mantra, and waiting for something mystical to happen.

Oh, don’t go no-true-scotsman on us. It’s a weak move, dude.
