I am quite sure it is worse to allow people fall even more victim to being duped by magic tricks. It is an absolutely terrible thing that these things act so much like people. I would say it's a form of abuse of actual people to allow them to be so duped as they already are, and worse to go out of your way to help dupe them even more.

Merely being concerned for people's welfare isn't enough. Every terrible idea that harmed everyone had someone behind it somewhere along the way who thought they were saving people from themselves.
