Of course. And if you have an ever rarer form of brain cancer, where only shooting part of your brain out will save your life, the doctor is ethically obliged to shoot you in the head to save your life! But my Bayesian prior is that when the doctor is trying to shoot me, s/he's trying to kill me. And when an economist is lying to me, they're trying to defraud / manipulate me.
