I would argue that the tulpa's inability to do anything munchkiny is evidence against their existence even in this far weaker sense.

What do you mean by munchkiny (having apparent free will separate from the host?) and how do you know they cannot?

I was taking a statement from this great-grandparent post and surrounding posts at face value

If domain experts say that the obvious ways to exploit having a tulpa fail, they are probably right.

By "do something munchkiny", I meant these "obvious ways to exploit having a tulpa", presumably including remembering things you don't and other cognitive enhancements.

Why do I think they can't? Because the (hypothetical?) domain experts say so.
