Placebo is a weird name. Please change to BEST
As amazing as Handbrake is , sometimes it has not user friendly terminology. To call Placebo the best setting is just plain absurd. Change to Best and if you want put a disclaimer that this brings very low benefits as it increases a lot encoding time. But to call it Placebo ?¿?¿ Really.

"Placebo" is named after the class of drugs that are similar - they make you feel better, even though they do nothing, and the effect is all in your head.
"Best" would be an incorrect name.

We don't name the presets; the developers of the video encoders (libx264, libx265, etc.) do.

I've always thought "Placebo" was a perfect name and a nice hint that you're wasting your time uses it.

The name was chosen to reflect the absurdity of excess. If taking forever makes you feel better, go right ahead, but remember to serve bon-bons and pink champagne.
If I was to rename the setting, it certainly wouldn't be to "Best."
I would call it "The Kitchen Sink," which is more apropos.
