As far as I can tell, intending to avoid falling into a bias or committing a fallacy doesn’t always cause the bias to go away.
Don’t I know it! However, I don’t actually have much of an underlying theory to confirm. The luminosity sequence was about me and stuff that works for me, mostly, and I admitted that from the get-go:
In this sequence, I hope to share some of the techniques for improving luminosity that I’ve used. I’m optimistic that at least some of them will be useful to at least some people. However, I may be a walking, talking “results not typical”.
This is why your assertion confused me. I’m not sure what I’d be confirming by reading books and articles and stuff. I know some things work for me, but I’m very hesitant to generalize too much (this is why I’m especially interested in the heterogeneity of minds).
At any rate, I apologize for my part in this miscommunication and I hope I’ve managed to clarify.

The part about therapy concerned me. I overestimated your optimism. Very well; I pray for your success.
