Perhaps I wasn’t clear; I wasn’t asking for your conclusions (which were already stated) or your hypothesized mechanisms for those conclusions, but rather, I was asking for evidence and definitions. Would you be willing to share the evidence that led you to formulate the above hypotheses?
I am particularly concerned because some of what you have said sounds like the sort of thing that one might anticipate about the process, but which is not actually the case at all. For example, I have seen no evidence of a reinforcement process such as you describe. (Quite the opposite in fact.) So, if you have actually measured or demonstrated such a reinforcement effect, I would be most curious to know how.
There are other things you’re saying that also appear to me to be contrary to actual fact (as opposed to one’s intuitive expectations that are easily confirmation-biased into appearing real), so I would really like to find out what specific evidence you have and what contrary explanations you’ve tested, because I don’t wish the efficacy of the technique to be overstated. (Thereby presenting others with something to criticize, never mind that I wasn’t the one who made the overstated claim(s).)
Okay, thanks for clarifying the question. I’ve essentially already stated all the “evidence” I’m using for the claim, it’s almost entirely anecdotal, and there’s certainly no actual studies that I’ve used to support this particular bullet point. So, there is a good chance I may have stated things in a way which seems overconfident, and I may in fact be overconfident regarding this particular claim, especially considering that I’ve not tested alternate explanations for the efficacy I’ve had. I’d be more than willing to have a detailed discussion regarding both of our experiences/intuitions with the method, but I feel as though this probably isn’t the place(I’ve already messaged you), though I’d be happy to update the wording of the article afterwards if it’s necessary.

I don’t take issue with anecdotal evidence; it’s the complete lack of any specifics whatsoever that’s a problem. Even well-run studies are routinely misunderstood, misinterpreted and miscommunicated due to lack of relevant detail.

I’m curious about the experiences that led you to the claims that you’re making. I really don’t want the intuitions or the reasoning behind your interpretations, because I don’t want to contribute to erasing the information I really want from your brain. i.e., I’m trying to avoid witness tampering, although it may already be too late for that. ;-)
For the same reason, I’m not interested in a “discussion”. I just want facts, or at least a reasonably-specific anecdote about them. ;-)
Anyway, if you’d be willing to share the specific experiences that led you to your conclusions—and only the experiences, not the reasoning or conclusions—please do so, whether publicly or privately.
