Reasonable. The question is whether it's reasonable to reject something just because the effect is placebo in nature.

How many times do we have to keep on analysing, reanalysing and meta-analysing RCTs of homeopathy? It can not work is does not work and encourages naive folk to abandon treatments that do work. Homeopathy is an ideology that is impervious to evidence

I must admit I thought they would differ at least a little, as I thought that there were "better" and "worse" placebos. I mean, if the placebo effect is a real thing and homeopathic "doctors" have specialized in making people "feel" treated, I would expect reports to reflect that

Sorry, silly of me, of course both the homeopathy and placebos would be given in the same conditions. Still I'm curious to see if the personalized treatment they give has a "stronger" placebo effect than just taking the pills normally.
