The placebo effect is perfectly real. *It works even if the people

Read some of the recent studies on placebos and the difference in
effect between a control group. *It's by no means negligible.



Hmmm,
Perfect means *100%. Please define Placeo.


You are mistaken on your definition of perfectly in this context. If
the odds of flipping a coin and having it come up heads is 1 in 2, it
does not mean that every second flip will be heads.
