halacha - Amen on a Berachah that may be out of place but isn't false


An answer to another question says that, when a particular modern-day Torah scholar heard someone recite the blessing of "SheHalak" (recited in the presence of only the most eminent scholars of Torah in the world) in the presence of Rav 'Ovadiyah Yosef, he nodded and appeared to possibly also answer Amen.


Just assuming for a moment that, perhaps, invoking this Berachah was inappropriate (perhaps because our entire generation is not worthy to have such a sage as is intended in this blessing), is there any good reason why someone might not say Amen when an inappropriate-to-the-situation, but not false, Berachah is made with Shem UMalchuth?
