The word "charlatan" implies that the hypnotist (or psychiatrist, priest, chiropracter, dog whisperer, etc.) knows they're running a scam. If the person practicing a particular treatment believes in it and finds it useful, and the person receiving a particular treatment, whether or not they believe in it, walks away having received some benefit, would you consider that unethical? My roomate moved in as a smoker. He used hypnotherapy as an aid to quit smoking and it was successful. Was the hypnotherapist a charlatan? Was he unethical because he charged money? I'd have to say no. Whatever the hypnotherapists personal motives were, my roomate is much happier.

Your statement presumes that "unethical" or not, anyone who charges money for something you are skeptical about is a charlatan.

Don't worry. No one's going anywhere near your, or anyone else's, wallet on the LoT. Unless you want some cheese crisps.
