I do not find it to be much of an assertion to say that prayer is not consistent. It is rather a conclusion. A conclusion that finds no consistency in the results that prayer brings or "supposedly brings" is an empty experiment, a lab test that succeeded in not proving the hypothesis. A bare assertion would be saying "yes, there is consistency", even after experiments have not shown there to be any pattern. So no, saying that prayer is not consistent is not a bare assertion, but a conclusion that found nothing that was being looked for.
If You guys want, there are multiple reports on testing prayer, here is 1:

And if You do not trust me, go ahead, do not trust me. I was a christian for 17 years and not once during a prayer of any kind did a result prosper as a calculated effect directly from prayer: the cause.
