If it has no effect, then why would anybody be talking about the 'placebo effect'? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 17:13, 2 December 2008 (EST)

:There's no active ingredient in a placebo, so any effect is either psychological or a mistaken perception. In other words, the placebo itself does nothing, it's the subject doing all the work or seeing a change when there really wasn't any. Additionally the "placebo effect" is different than a "placebo".
