So, if it is true in reality that your writing “here be dragons” on a map results in someone encountering a dragon when traveling to the mapped area...
It happens. Probably not with dragons, but with placebo and with many other things where the nonlinear second order effect map->reality is ignored in this simplified map/territory distinction. So why make the distinction?
(Sorry.) To answer your question: for the times when it doesn’t happen? I wasn’t actually planning to join a debate; you might find it more productive to ask one of the people who gave more in-depth replies.
