Great article.

It reminds me of another anecdote, regarding a university professor who told his students that he would deliberately include one falsehood in each lecture, and the students were charged with listening carefully and identifying the 'mistake' in each class.

For the very last class in the course, the professor trolled his students by not including any mistake.

"let me explain how I teach. Between today until the class right before finals, it is my intention to work into each of my lectures … one lie."

Ah, that must have been it. Thanks for the link!
