I'm inclined to agree. If you're actively putting out misinformation, that's always bad. It feels a bit "entrapment"-ey. Sort of tangential, but I have always thought teachers/professors who put "trick" questions on tests to be sort of assholes. It's fine if it's an extra credit thing and isn't going to take away from the final grade, but when you write a question that literally everyone in the class gets wrong, I think that says a lot more about your communication or teaching ability than the students.
