I want to offer a slightly different perspective and hear what you think:
Maybe deception can be split into two kinds.
You describe Deception 1-
and Deception 2 is best thought of as any impact that doesn’t want to make you as good at recognizing Deception 1s, even if it is converging you to the model of the speaker. So think about honest indoctrination by a true believer in whatever truth/falsehood. In this case, while they are bringing you closer to truth, they are actually degrading your future abilities to recognize Deception 1s, because they are making you think worse.
For example: by appealing to emotions/authority/wtvr, they are actually damaging you’re capability to reason, and are deceiving YOU as a person, even if the current facts are actually true.
