Yes. Without it, we'd have no research program. Only very rarely do I even indicate to research subjects that it's a bad idea to be doing what they tell me they're doing - because I'm afraid they'll be less honest next time. There are exceptions. ("It's good that you're not sharing needles - that's great - but you also need to be using your own cooker and cotton and rinse water, because HIV can live in there too." "Oh, really? I didn't know that." "Sure, lots of people don't.")
