Strangely, knowing all we know about the placebo effect, it's likely that those overpriced non-targeted versions did help people more than either the plain version or the genetic. Weird world.

It works even when you know about it.
I only buy nurofen because it works for me better than the generic. There is no reason for that, I know there is no reason for that, I know I'm an idiot overpaying, I don't have pride or anything, I would be glad to have the generic work as well and I try from time to time. But it does not matter, I'm conditioned and I fear that the cost of unconditioning me would make Nurofen works like the generic rather than the other way around.
