 Coolness: 51180 | some might find this useful:

| Coolness: 340375 | there's more than one subtlety there:
a) you don't give placebo's to critically ill patients. b) a fake placebo is the same as a placebo. |

 Coolness: 194735 | actually by converse logic, a fake placebo should be some sort of active drug :b |

| Coolness: 340375 | uhh no,
a fake dummy isn't a person.. |

| Coolness: 194735 | dummy is, by definition:
dum·my n. pl. dum·mies 1. An imitation of a real or original object, intended to be used as a practical substitute. 2. 1. A mannequin used in displaying clothes. 2. A figure of a person or an animal manipulated by a ventriloquist. 3. A stuffed or pasteboard figure used as a target. ... in short, a doll - and while a person is hardly a fake of a doll, doll in itself is an object and can be fake (i.e. made of fake materials, holographic projeciton for all you trekkies, etc.) however, a placebo by definition is: pla·ce·bo Audio pronunciation of "placebo" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pl-sb) n. pl. pla·ce·bos or pla·ce·boes 1. 1. A substance containing no medication and prescribed or given to reinforce a patient's expectation to get well. 2. An inactive substance or preparation used as a control in an experiment or test to determine the effectiveness of a medicinal drug. ... (2) is of interest to us here. "an INACTIVE substance". ergo fake placebo would have to be an active substance since it would have to no longer fit the definition :b |

| Coolness: 43460 | Languages were created because we needed a way to communicate. We needed words to specify what are we talking about. There is no such thing as a fake placebo, so we don't need that expression, and since we don't need it, it has no reason to exist. Unless you want to create long debates on nothing. |
