There are supporters and haters to that question.
1) Supporters: Don't want people figuring out the trick - especially magicians. Non-magicians will be fooled by the false shuffles anyways, so they aren't much of a threat or of importance to make oneself feel superior to others;
2) Haters: Hates hearing lies about tricks - They would instead say something true in a way that could be intentionally, but psychologically misleading (an example could be "The deck could be shuffled". They didn't specify that it could be done by the spectator, but they can do it themselves, so they aren't lying. However, they give off the vibe that it's fair. No one can really criticize him/her for that statement as it is true for the magician).

Depending on the situation, you have to lie in a trick, but that is only excusable for laymen. When magicians/hobbyists/hecklers find out that he is lying, then his reputation will plummet down as a real lier, not entertainers. It's somewhat hard to explain, but I hope that gives you an idea of what I mean.
