Joey brings the Hoffman Quadrinity Process to Hyde
Anonymous:
Placebo effect -- no. A placebo means its harmless. But a placebo is dangerous when real medicine is required. Moreover, Hyde
produces a few problems of its own.
As for Hyde's supporters:
Effort justification fallacy -- yes. In my case it wore off after a year -- little effort invested.
Not mentioned: ownership bias: The famous pen and chocolate experiment of Kahneman and Twersky. You assign the same value to going to public school, going to private school, and going to Hyde. You are indifferent between these choices. But once you decide in favor of one, you assign a greater value to it than to the alternatives. You wouldn't do it differently.

--- Quote from: "Nathan Hale Bopp" ---Hey that sounds like Hyde. I have heard the "effort justification fallacy" from a number of former ... students, but I never knew there was a name for it. You spend all that time and effort coping with the system , it must mean something. And yeah it did, just not what they told you it was. Any number of experiences will strengthen your character. Ask Elie Wiesel. "To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all."

I have to wonder if there is such a thing as "Expense Justification Fallacy," that is...the pricier the brainwash, the more effective it is. This would certainly hold greater sway with the parents, who are actually paying the Hyde School "tuition" bill.
Speaking of expense justification fallacies and the like, I think the going rate for participation in a Hoffman Quadrinity Process is about 5 grand (at least in Australia, probably in the same price range here). Will that make people more likely to think in positive terms, when contemplating their "renewal?"

I see this effort justification fallacy as a largely unconscious defense against admitting that you've been had, whether you're a parent or a student claiming it's all been worth it.
