Why did God let people think demons cause epilepsy?

Quote:[url=http://biblia.com/bible/esv/Matthew%2017.14%E2%80%9318]Matthew 17:14–18says, “When they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and, kneeling before him, said, ‘Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly. For often he falls into the fire, and often into the water. And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him.’ And Jesus answered, ‘O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me.’ And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly”


The OP would like to know why a god-who knows everything- wouldn't know that sincere humans would use such verses to harm epileptic children because they thought such kids were demon possessed? Why not add a clarifying verse or two?
