Paper shows that Siddhi (magic) powers are a logical conclusion of the metaphysics of Yoga, this would make Christian Science look false so why not Hinduism?

The paper "The metaphysical logic of the siddhis" by Rutgers University Religion Professor Edwin Bryant (linked below) shows that Siddhi (magic) powers are a direct conclusion that are made by Yoga metaphysical philosophy.  When I learned about Christian Science, I thought to myself, if this is true, I can walk throug walls, and so did others, it was a logical conclusion of what I was learning. Hindus work very hard to distance Siddhi powers from Yoga and Vedanta because they don't want it to look foolish, but if you believe in Yoga philosophy you will eventually get to the conclusion that you can do things like move matter or change size.  Why did I and many others dismiss Christian Science?  Because people cannot walk through walls or heal the sick with their mind or raise the dead.  Why should people reject Hinduism?  Because Vedanta-Yoga does not lead to magic powers at all, which it should if the philosophy were true.
