Well, I believe it is damaging, being as it is a false belief. There is no such thing as a good lie, in principle. All you need to consider in order to see that this is so is a world in which no one would believe ridiculous things in spite of evidence to the contrary/better reasoning available and then compare it to the world as it is right now. Which world would you rather live in?
