I really don't want to engage with you. This again does not feel like an honest question but rather an attempt to try to make me look wrong.
No, I'm very serious. I honestly do not understand why you think there is a problem here.

Changing the body through training is not a radical idea. Developing a skill to the point where it is automatic is not a radical idea.

But you said that:

I spoke to two scientists last night about these issues. The idea that Aiki training is changing the body is testable and almost certainly false.
So what did you ask them, specifically? How did you describe "aiki training" and the "body change" it purports to develop? What tests did they propose?

Since it's already clear that not everyone in this thread shares the same definition of "aiki," it is impossible to comment on your statement without knowing which definition of "aiki" you used.
