Good point. However most of her opinions seem to be unfalsifiable, like how I can tell if Dao technic of Inner Smile doesn't work, maybe I'm smiling to my organs not sincerely enough
The point isn't to try to falsify her opinions but to generally encourage her to make predictions about reality and make predictions about reality as well.
If you look at the Dao technic of Inner Smile, you might start by asking her whether she thinks herself that she can perceive whether or not she's sincerely doing the technique.
Don't get attached to have a debate about truth of individual beliefs but focus on actually making predictions.
