I doubt, that he will answer. After all he was trolling and won't come back. His view of hypnosis is what hollywood told him: Some magical esoteric thing that spells people (he tells hypnosis in one sentence with spells).
Anyhow, one thing I can agree to: Hypnosis is fantasy. And it's proven that people with good imagination and fantasy have good effects in hypnosis. It's a way to convince the subconscious mind about a certain fantasy helping the subject either to imagine the fantasy better like in a dream or even in awake state to see things that are not there (or don't see things that are there) and - if it is wanted - that the fantasy causes changes in behaviour.
I think, no one here really thinks a hypnosis can make a dick disappear, maybe some growt to breast can happen when it causes the body to produce more female hormones.
And, if a placebo has a desired effect, does it matter then if it is a placebo at all? What counts is that the effect is there not why it appears.
