Several people have replied to a point of mine in terms similar to this:

Well, yes but...

If your culture believes it has a reliable test for the existence of a soul it will use it. (In KoDP I always try to perform a divination and follow the result if it's clear. The Ancestors/The Gods/Whoever may be wrong but that's no reason not follow their advice.)

And anyway why do people assume

1. that different cultures tests will give different results?
2. that there isn't some actual reality that the various rituals are tapping into?

Both seem to me unlikely.....
