I read the idea, but it seemed to have basically the same flaw as Pascal’s wager does. On that ground alone it seemed like it shouldn’t be a mental risk to anyone, but it could be that I missed some part of the argument. (Didn’t save the post.)
My analysis was that it described a real danger. Not a topic worth banning, of course—but not as worthless a danger as the one that arises in Pascal’s wager.
