It just goes to show you, hang around long enough and you'll see the old stuff presented as new again.

I recall reading about a similar experiment. The First Earth Battalion maybe?
Meditation itself can be a very useful tool. If done correctly that is. It allows you to think more clearly in a stressful environment. Not saying I've been in nearly as stressful of an environment as most members of this board though. The ability to clear ones mind can be a difficult skill to aquire. I'm not familiar with Zazen, but one way I was taught that worked was to put on music with no words (i.e. classical), and slow deep breathing.
