And what is your success rate using these conversion techniques?

3 successes (that I know of) out of 1 attempted. I don't intentionally deconvert people, generally speaking.

Did you succeed with the one you attempted?

Comment author: faul_sname 09 May 2012 05:44:34AM 3 points [-]

Yes. To be honest, I suspect I only hastened the process by a year or two though (also ended up giving a crash course in evolutionary bio and physics, which helped me understand both subjects much better).
