Current science does not fully understand what placebo is.
Thus, who would have placebo effect and what effect they would have is totally unknown.
Science is described as below at www.Dictionary.Reference.com

In other words, science needs to be changed, modified, discarded, and etc. any time Or, it is supposed to be imperfect.
In ordinary environments, no matter how much you deny the gravity, the apple still falls.
No matter how skeptical about the gravity all the people in the world, it still falls.
When I was in Chicago to teach an acupuncturist a few years ago, I had a chance to explain what KOSA is to a group of ordinary people.
A gentleman who thought I was bluffing and he got mad at me wanted to be a hero and humiliate me proving KOSA is not as great as I was explaining.
He raised his hand and said, "I have not been able to rotate my wrist for 13 years. Since your KOSA is that great, please show us you can treat my wrist."
I did a quick diagnosis in a minute, stuck a needle and manipulated for a minute watching my wrist watch.
When I asked him to test his wrist when I was done, his wrist turned against his expectation, hope and will.
He ran away not even saying "Thank you".
Do you still think what scientist says about what placebo is accurate?
