Fruits Of The Liturgical Form

Rorate asks question that we've pondered over many times. What are the fruits of the post-conciliar liturgical form?

Faithful attending Mass?
No.

Conversions?
No.

Greater understanding of the Faith?
No.

I'm at a pretty big loss to come up with anything. The best answer I tend to hear from folks who defend the reforms while being confronted with the ongoing and catastrophic loss of the Faith among Catholics is "Just imagine how bad things would be if we hadn't done all this reforming."

I'm not sure appeal to a hypothetical greater catastrophe is an actual fruit.
