Inoculation can target faulty reasoning tactics rather than specific facts

Evidence

Technique-based (or sometimes called logic-based) inoculation borrows more generally from Aristotle’s approach to identifying and exposing flawed reasoning tactics. … Unlike the issue-based prebunk, the technique-level inoculation doesn’t deal with specific facts but forewarns people that they may be misled by a particular misinformation technique and subsequently prebunks that technique using one or several weakened doses. — Sander van der Linden, Foolproof, 962
