Because people will find out it's a placebo, and it will stop working.
- ars 15y agoThat's not correct. Placebos work even when the person knows it's a placebo. All that is required is belief that it will work, even if you have knowledge that it doesn't. i.e. if they see they got better on the placebo they won't care when they find out - they have clear evidence that it does work.
