Thank you. I offered the disclaimer so you would have a handle on the perspective. Frankly, I think my opinion is valid or I wouldn't offer it.
As to my point about the dangers of maintaining an illusion, I capitulated when I realized that we were talking about different intents.
You were talking illusion similar to a magician who saws a lady in half. He blatantly lies and uses trickery to convince the audience that the lady has been sectionalized but he doesn't expect anyone to really believe it. They just enjoy the illusion.
I was talking about the illusion a fake psychic presents where he uses trickery to get the audience to really believe he can talk to the dead. He may have good intentions such as comforting surviving family members, but his deception has potential of causing great pain, particularly if the illusion is broken.
