A good test is to apply a white mark on the subjects head. Try to do it in a way they don't notice, and use a safe material with no odor. Then see if they start mucking with their head after looking in the mirror.

Agreed. If an HN poster doesn't start cleaning their hair after looking in a mirror, their account should be cancelled to prevent further posting. That would work.

(err, that's what you meant, right?)

Well, this dog is white, but I may try some experiments. I'm curious if she could recognize a mark.
