There maybe many people out there on the outskirts of ethics that believe there is a "debate" or a "controversy", but no legitimate research institute or organization would allow a study that did not inform a participant that they might be receiving the placebo.

You are just plain wrong and if you believe it is OK to lie to people, you are also, I'm sorry to say, unethical.
