For both of you I guess. I never said it didn’t matter. I said it was Not a Requirement for Reiki to work. Belief may correspond to lack of resistance to the treatment. It can indicate that a person is karmically in a position to receive. It can indicate that the person is going to unconsciously contribute to the effect themselves. Belief is not a required component for Reiki.

Yeah. I wasn't trying to correct you on that. I've experienced Reiki from a position of neutral belief and that experience very much pushed me into the "Reiki is legit" camp.
I brought up the Placebo effect because wymike keeps banging the captain scientist drum pretty hard and seems to think that belief is not a valid variable which is a demonstrably absurd position to hold.
