Did this come off as pseudoscientific to anyone else? It seems to be inviting me to see that the procedure works by personal experience, not to question whether or not it works.
If it doesn't seem to work for me, I haven't practiced it enough. How long should I try? 10000 trials. Of course the game is already up before I begin.

Nowhere is the author suggestng that this procedure has been scientificaly tested.
Also, the author raises two very important points that can be applied to other things in life:
1) to train a skill before it is needed, so that it's available when the time comes.
2) to train it enough many times for it to become a habit.

Kind of ironic considering the subject matter.
