That's a theory on education I'm not familiar with but it makes sense. Unfortunately it's not always enough though. I'm always amazed when college educated friends of mine spout some ridiculous claims and, when asked where they sourced the info listed several bullshit .orgs as if the fact it wasn't a .com granted some infallible legitimacy. So then does that stem from the same lack of tech literacy that you've mentioned in the original post or is it a failing on the part of education to instill sufficient skepticism?
