I don't think it works that way too well. There's too much evidence for the reality that illusions and falsehoods, regardless the purity of the intent, eventually lead to pain and loss for the one being fooled. For instance, I'd prefer the brutal reality that I'm dying of some terrible disease that will make my last days and hours miserable than discovering it unbeknownst to me. The shock of the latter would likely render me numb and unable to function whereas knowing in advance allows me to prepare in whatever way I can.
