I certainly won’t strenuously argue that it’s definitely safe, because I really have no idea if it’s safe. But I would note the analogy to addictive and/or compulsive behaviors. The striatum doesn’t distinguish “valid” compulsions from invalid ones by default, and that’s why it’s so easy for us to get addicted. It’s not like the striatum has any way of knowing what counts of spurious input. At least, I can’t imagine why it would.
Again, not really arguing with you, really still just working through my own sense of why this works at all.
