To be objective you must test with in the parameters given.
A different example is if I said I had a formula that turned lead into gold. And shared the formula with you, but you being a man of science says it is impossible to turn lead into gold and to prove it you take some off the shelf scientific theory that has been proven wrong 1000 times. Then claim based on your effort here turning lead into gold is impossible.
Never once having tested the formula I came up with.
You had a belief and only confirmed what you already believed.
I should reject your claim to have a formula that turns lead into gold as false on the face of it unless you have a suspiciously large amount of gold. Then it might be worth testing just on the remote chance you're not a charlatan. I have no obligation at all to take your claim seriously just on your say-so.
On the other hand, the 'canon' method you're suggesting is a form of self-brainwashing. The trouble isn't that I don't think it will work, the trouble is that I'm concerned that it will; for reasons that have nothing to do with whether the underlying claim is actually true in real reality or not.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
