What's the ethical hazard here? The ethical hazard of inadvertently torturing limitless miserable slaves is a thing, but I'm not sure what the hazard is in this misleading about economic value extraction. Would someone miss out on money or something?

No, that is a sci-fi hazard, I’m only talking about misleading people. Economic bubbles, financial cons, etc

I'm not so bothered about fools being parted with their money. In a perfect economy, they ought to be.

Until it isn't. And we wouldn't know when this comes to pass, because few are motivated to care about it.
