That was actually the point of the excercise, to get people to evaluate their presupposition on a soul, to internally define that soul and use experience, logic, or some form of dogma to lend creedence to their definition. I can see where it would be difficult without any base opinions on the matter to go off of, but usually people have some sort of opinion (even atheists who were once theists) that they use to formulate what's real and not real. If you saw a ghostly apparition in front of you, you would either assume it was a real, or b unreal. Then you could determine it's origins, etc. but before you can even decide a or b subconsciously, you have identified and defined what is in front of you and named it a ghost which is at least some basis for comparision of beliefs.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
