One thing i was taught in speech class (note: my speech teacher told me to focus on writing ) was that in a persuasive speech or anything of the sort, was to avoid, as much as possible, mentioning negative sterotypes, misinformation, or anything else you didn't want people to remember.
Even if you consciously correct it, and say it is wrong, people will remember wrong things. Often this is the only part they will remember (and not the good information you wanted them to know).
So while I find the idea of presenting wrong info to get people's attention intriguing, in the end I agree with those saying to avoid it.
