Even if it "works" so poorly that you're not actually learning about your condition?

If it's helping you learn about your condition then sure I agree. The issue here is that's not really the case, it's giving you the illusion that you're learning about your condition while feeding you hallucinations and half-truths at best. A recent look at medical advice from these things showed they're no better than a coin flip.
So if you MUST have answers that are at most random guesses, I'd suggest saving a few bucks and asking a coin before flipping it.
Whatever scenario you come up with my answer is the same.
As an adult I’d like to be able to choose what tools I use to learn about my condition regardless of how well it works or even if it’s likely to mislead me.
There’s risk in every aspect of life and we can’t baby proof everything.
