I used this technique to teach my children about politics, business and governance. Essentially any domain characterized by imperfect information, imperiled by cognitive bias, or containing incentive for deceit. The larger lesson I hoped to convey was a healthy skepticism of purported statements of truth, including mine. But much as in the article, the greatest value lay in the boost to engagement and interaction with the material. My kids loved finding the lie almost as much as I loved planning them.
