She doesn't say anything about ideological Turing tests

She did elsewhere. She run the first ideological Turing test for religion. Theists scored better. A catholic scored best overall.

Read the blog post you linked to.

I didn't reread the article. I just took the link from Wikipedia's page on ideological turing tests that points to her moving to Catholics.

I think you are mixing up the true proposition

  • Leah ran an ideological Turing test, in which theists scored better than atheists, AND
  • Leah converted to Catholicism

with the false proposition

  • Leah ran an ideological Turing test, in which theists scored better than atheists, AND SO
  • Leah converted to Catholicism.

Wikipedia's page

... also neither claims nor implies that Leah's conversion was a result of her finding that Christians did better than atheists in her ideological Turing test.
