I think your first argument is correct. I think there is a continuum of suggestability. Some have a great deal of it, and some have very little at all.

What has always amazed me, though, is why hypnotic suggestion isn't front and center. For those suggestable folk, there's no better way to connect with it. Or, am I presuming something without evidence? If placebo works without any other suggestion, then why not hypnosis?
