True, and I would never go as far as saying that the benefits have been disproven.
I do hear about many people trying to treat their psoriasis wit vitamin D, but not about many success stories.
As far as we know, the reason sunlight helps psoriasis is not vitamin D, but because UVB at specific wavelengths has an immunosuppressive effect on the skin. It induces apoptosis of T-cells and promotes keratinocyte differentiation.

It seems to my non-expert opinion that it's a piece of the puzzle, but there's a lot more other pieces. It seems to be often linked with selenium deficiency and I've read one case of a really bad erythrodermic patient that was treated with calcium.
