Believing the placebo argument is spurious of course would enhance the chances that one would obtain a robust placebo response. Which would be helpful if the placebo was harmless. But the chemicals marketed by the pharmaceutical companies cause a great deal of harm to a great many people as well as a great deal of profit for the companies.
