TBH I'm skeptical. Everyone talks about the 99.999th percentile case but does it work in practice..?

They can survive 6 months without eating, but they'll also feed off of each other last-man-standing style, which is why you have to go a whole lot longer.

Yeah I've read all of the facts about them, but I've also read posts by many people who have simply done any ONE of the myriad of suggestions, and claim that it worked. So there's more to the story here.

I think the story is that maybe you get lucky and maybe you don't.
The problem here is that their lifecycle is unimaginably long and punctuated. They happily hibernate for 6 months at a time between feedings, so waiting them out means waiting a very very very long time.
