Well, the cause of Ron's bad luck was supposed to be his lack of confidence, not lack of talent, right? So for him FF would give luck via magically fixing his lack of confidence. So in that case you might as well give him fake FF because that could give him confidence sans actual magic. I think that's the general idea, though it wouldn't work on someone whose problems stem from something other than an inferiority complex.
Mostly I'm just annoyed because didn't we already have the exact same "Ron lacks confidence and so messes up as Keeper but later gets his groove back and kicks ass" plot LAST book?
