Why would I want to remove a placebo if it works?

The placebo is false, it is not a truth.

Your reasoning seems to me to be constructs of your own making. My search is for truth in its simplest form, detached from human perceptions.

I do think that your thoughts are good, though perhaps not true.

There’s a difference between truth and objective truth. Something can be true in the same way an arrow can be shot true to its target. Requiring everything to be objectively true is an absurdly high standard, imho.
