What do you mean, harmful?  There's nothing here which will kill polar
bears, increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere or cause
floods or droughts.  There's nothing pathalogical here, either - these
special situations where a purpurted decider gives the wrong answer are
are part of all such deciders.  They are an essential property of such
purported deciders and are a fascinating thing to explore and form
theorems around.

You are in a tiny minority (of 1?) who believes essential properties of
mathematical logic are intrinsically erroneous.  It seems you are not
prepared to live in the world we have, you want one essentially
different (that cannot possibly exist).
