I tend to agree with this approach but perhaps there is some value in the childhood experience of learning adults can lie about something like santa? I'm on the fence still I guess.

yeah I think it's good for kids however one problem is kids at first I think are mad at their parents, the parents lied to them, not society, of course I think parents don't understand why we do this either. The santa myth was started by corporations looking to damage the parent child bond. It's slightly mixed in with christianity so parents feel like it is a good thing.
