No one has really addressed my question as to why any classically
conditioned stimulus could not be viewed as a placebo (or nocebo).

Classical conditioning is a likely mechanism for the placebo effect.

Anyway how is this different from lemmings falling over cliffs in Norway?

The Ministry of Health in Iraq is hoping to ban the sale of toy guns. The
article stresses the danger of these toy guns (partly because of eye

Isn't much of this conversation parallel to what was discussed in the thread
about zombies? It seems that some sort of dehumanization is taking place in all
of these settings (I, too, have seen True Lies many times--more than I

Yes, I suppose so.
If it were up to me though, I think I would consider placebo to be a
subset of expectancy effects which are medically beneficial.
