This reminds me of the studies that found that "Releasing stress" via punching pillows and screaming only trained you to respond to stressful situations in violent ways, rather than actually having beneficial effects. Training is a question of learning to unconsciously do a conscious activity and training yourself in dark side methods is making unconscious your reliance/use of falsities.
