i think i have a confusion about this. i probably just need to learn a bit more about trials etc... i'm confused about the role of double blinding... why that would make a difference if placebo effect was impervious to knowledge. but then, on the other hand... i was pretty sure that it was impervious to knowledge. maybe... more must be said about the extent of the knowledge or the nature of the belief or whatever...
