As tempting as this method sounds I'd be reluctant to employ it for the simple fact that the things you learn first (in this case the lies) are more likely to stick than the corrections. That's not the only factor in learning, obviously, and boy can I appreciate frustration around motivating people to engage with material more actively. Still, the principle of primacy gives me pause.
I wonder how much of the effect is due merely to increased attention from the novelty. What I mean is, could a similar effect be achieved by some other method that grabs attention in some other way without introducing incorrect material?
