Whould you replicate a protocol of landing a coin on the edge?


If I develop an extensive protocol of training, which may lead someone to flip a coin and land it on the edge (instead of heads/tails) with a bit higher than ~1/6000 probability, would you try to replicate it?

The protocol includes a range from safe enough harnessing of GABA-A etc neurotransmission for brain-arm coordination to esoteric focusing techniques modified for this specific goal. (Of course I'd test this myself first)

No but I would read a sci-fi short story about someone who figured out how to land a coin on its edge, similar to https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/angel-of-red-and-white

If I was looking to expand human potential I'd be trying to develop a protocol to develop a psychogenic fever on command. Since it activates brown fat burning it might put Ozempic out of business if it wasn't likely the side effects would be worse.
