what i mean is... instead of learning stuff about placebo (x helps and y helps and z helps) and then controlling out all the helping... so x and y and z are removed from both groups...
instead of that...
why not build placebo into all conditions. in order to improve the treatment response (for all groups) as much as possible.
isn't that the relevant control group? Placebos... everything we can throw at it no holds barred... we want to discover something *better than that*
