Placebo effect does not work on everybody while intuition science work on everybody who make the effort to bring the spiritual gold to the surface.
The difference between yoga and a false pill or remedy is that the first involve hard work while the latter does not.
I have seen a lot of people giving up the real yoga because they find very difficult in carrying it on but i never heard anyone who tried to say that it does not work.

You can say that your guessing is such and such but to say that spirituality work in such and such a way when you never practice it then you create a dogma.
From wikipedia:
Dogma is a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true. It serves as part of the primary basis of an ideology or belief system, ...
It would seem that it is you who are making the claim to be an incontrovertible authority on what is true regarding spirituality. As such, it is what you say that represents a dogma. You see the difference?
So according to your statement also anyone who practiced any activity for years and years and say that they know how the system works are also a bunch of idiots?
In other words all these experience people should say..........I DO KNOW NOTHING....I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE ON THE SUBJECT..........IN MY LIFE I NEVER LEARN ANYTHING.....SO PLEASE GO TO SOMEBODY ELSE IF YOU WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING.
Where the people who are interested in knowing should go then?
Maybe they should go to someone under the effect of the placebo effect or the illusion?
You see what happen when we draw quick conclusions without thinking properly?

People are often confused into believing that the block of ice that they see on the surface is the only one.
But as we know under the water there is even a bigger block of ice.
I believe it was Shakespeare, in The Two Ladies And One Flagon Of Verona, who first coined the phrase "No Shit, Sherlock". I would contend that the only people likely to be confused about the true nature of icebergs are children, and particularly young and ill-educated children at that. If such is indeed your intended audience, go for it champ. I doubt you're going to get much traction round here though.
It does not really matter if you are adult.
As far as you concentrate all your attention on the material-physical worlds then there is no way that you can have any feeling for the subtle.
When your consciousness has decided that there is nothing else then that is it.
The dogma will prevent you from exit the corral in which you have lock your consciousness in.
