I un-"re" your re-"erm".
There is an argument which goes: if the patient wants to be cured, and the
placebo effect has a good chance of helping with that recovery process, then
what *is* wrong with the doctor giving the patient a sugar pill and telling
them "This'll cure you by this afternoon"?
I'm not necessarily making that argument, but I think it's a valid argument to
be made nonetheless. Telling fibs is bad, but making people better is good.
