Not a PhD in Lucid Dreaming though, right?

Maybe. Maybe not. A google search doesn't uncover much...as I guess you've already found.


There is significant evidence, anecdotal and otherwise, that deliberately inducing SP to WILD works. You are therefore working working against the majority consensus of your DV peers. In this case I'd say the burden of proof was on you. Simply dismissing that evidence does not prove your case.
In that context, invoking "proving a positive" as a defence, remains a smokescreen.
