Similar methods are widespread in interrogation tactics as well. With enough lies, you can determine the truth (eliminate all contradictory statements and what remains is either the truth or an amazingly executed piece of misinformation). Along the same lines, in SERE training, you're instructed to not answer any questions, and if you can't hold out from answering anymore, just tell the truth because lying helps as much as telling the truth.
