What is the value of information here? Is there some change in behavior that certain results would cause? What kind of increase in value could be expected from such a change in behavior? Anyone have guesses here?

If the sequence was shown to be useful we would be able to use the data to help show people that LW is useful. If the sequence is not useful we would likely need to do more research to determine why. If we find that the sequence was merely ineffective in instilling the techniques we could re-write it to be more effective. If it turns out that the techniques themselves are ineffective we could stop teaching them. Preferably we wouldn't remove the sequence just add a warning at the start of each post. This would save people time and encourage them to create alternative techniques.
