I wouldn't doubt it. The same way Amerikkka lies to people about everyone equal and having the same shot/chances/opportunity, society lies to people about looks/aesthetics not mattering as much as they do.
I've always held that the reason is to keep people in the lower 80% in both economic, and social circumstances playing the game. I feel like if you gave people the full unabashed truth about life in their adolescence the suicide rate would skyrocket. Hell if suicide was socially acceptable the suicide rate would skyrocket
