I don't, but the way Dianetics was written, and the way most of Hubbard's
claims were presented leave the reader with no other choice than to assume
that yes, he DID get it all right the first time around and yes, it is all
perfect.  Notice the injuction against squirrel tech.  Now, there's nothing
wrong if WE go changing it, but nobody else could POSSIBLY get it right, so
avoid them.
