Would you be able to recognize an ethnomethodological breaching experiment in a post?

Breaching experiment. A method for revealing, or exposing, the common work that is performed by members of particular social groups in maintaining a clearly recognizable and shared social order. An extreme example: driving the wrong way down a busy one-way street can reveal myriads of useful insights into the patterned social practices, and moral order, of the community of automobile drivers … and police. The point of such an exercise is to demonstrate that gaining insight into the work involved in maintaining any given social order can often, best be revealed by breaching that social order and observing the results of that breach - especially those activities related to the reassembly of that social order, and the normalization of that social setting.[18]

In this forum I might claim the pope is antichrist. i observe the immediate responses as data. eventually, like popcorn, the order is normalized and the responses cease. I,ve observed a few threads that appear to me suspect.

I don’t think the experiment would be very valid. Just as you won’t last too long driving the wrong way down a one way street, if you claim the Pope is the anti-Christ, you will be quickly removed and lose all you experimental data. 😉 No “useful insights” or revelations to be had.
