According to the actual science behind it.
"the damper is used to reduce and if at all possible eliminate the vibration and harmonic energy created by the firing pulses of the engine. Without a balancer or damper, the harmonic forces that the crankshaft is seeing would quickly damage the bearings in the short block of an engine."

and plenty of data showing benefits of having the damper left in (in stock or aftermarket form).
