Voodoo based on cluelessness is just as much voodoo as the voodoo based on greed. "Let them experiment with it and see that it doesn't work" would be a good idea in a world without a placebo effect, but unfortunately people do hear (subjective) differences when they experiment with totally useless tweaks, and it enforces their belief that they work, despite there not being any objectively verifiable difference.
