I echo Ustwo's sentiment that it really depends on your mother. I've got a hard-on for dispelling myths and quack science, but it really helps people to believe in something.
It's the same reason that I wouldn't tell people, even if I found some incontrovertible truth that God didn't exist. Some people need to believe in something bigger than themselves, or that what they're doing really helps.
