Aha. That is why my test is structured the way it is structured. Part of the idea is to eliminate or reduce the risk of self-delusion.

In other words, you give it time (say, a year). And you check for its effects (or lack thereof) across different areas of your life.

It is quite difficult to delude yourself across all (or many) different areas of your life. On the other hand, if all (or many) different areas of your life are showing marked improvement after one full year of LOA, it is quite difficult to delude yourself that LOA doesn't work.

(This test assumes that you will use LOA in all different areas of your life, as opposed to only one or two areas, say, your career or your health).
