I don't doubt that your actual results have been effective, but I think that you're underestimating the subtlety of priming--in your examples, it reads less like conquering the priming effects and more like just failing to mention them. Due to positive association, there are going to be paths that your mind takes, regardless of whether it chooses to inform you of that.

On the other hand, as you have pointed out, priming is useful. As you become more expert at recognizing and counteracting it, how will you know when to stop?
