You're thinking of confirmation bias, which is superficially similar to placebo but isn't the same thing. Like I said above, we don't have confirmation bias either, because we accept the reality of the situation.
You do. I do. Many do.
There is still a shitload of people that will not accept for one second that their catback exhaust didn't make the car faster, more responsive, have better low end/high end/mid range torque no matter what evidence is put in front of them. They indeed have confirmation bias going on.
