It will be interesting to see if this approach works. I hope they have some plans for a serious evaluation. My anecdotal experience suggests that most people seems to be unable to cope with fallacies, classical or otherwise, and most seem to have problems separating truth from fiction. Moreover, we use fiction and "lies" as a rhetorical device when explaining complex events.
