I agree with what you are saying except would suggest a qualifier for:
I think in particular of insights involving, say, the influence of programs that targeting the development of the cerebellum and the effect they could have on akrasia problems. Theories that require changing the brain can not all be tested in 15 minutes.
Which is why I prefer not to investigate such things, when there are so many things that do work in such a time frame, once you've defined what you're trying to do, and identified what to apply them to.
But I'm referring here to things that involve creating a "click" to learn or unlearn something, rather than developing skill.
