I think this is actually a bit how Nen itself works. The "Vow & Limitation" acting as a Nocebo for your limitations. We know the "100%" limitations of Nen categories can be both bent and broken. Chairman Netero broke them by going insane and doing 100,000 punches and thanks over and over for a decade. You could label Netero's insane regimen as a Placebo, and "Vow & Limitation" as a Nocebo.

I tend to think that the reason a 'limit' exists at all is because the Nen user can't believe past a certain point that they can effect the world however they want. But we know from Alluka that this is not a strict rule. You could probably wish for the destruction of all of creation and receive it from Alluka. Which is so far beyond the so-called "limit" that nen users aren't supposed to be able to rise above it is ridiculous.

Perhaps when we get to the new world (after this hateful hiatus ]':) we will probably learn that the nen users of the old world have a hoplessly provincial veiw of nen.
