You may well be right about all of that, but I still maintain that a warning to be careful is a good idea when trying to change how your mind is operating in regards to any basic drive. It can be very hard to tell, from the inside, whether a mental motion matches what someone else verbally described.
I would also add that I am going to be wary of using any technique the requires convincing part of my mind of a falsehood, which this is at least adjacent to. Sure, there are likely to be some such techniques, maybe many, that are safe and effective, but it is a kind-of-thing that I think deserves a higher level of scrutiny in general.
