Could you trick a user of a Death Note into misspelling the names of the Kira task force four times?


If you have access to a Death Note, know the rule that four unintentional
misspellings result in immunity to the Death Note, and are hunting someone
with a Death Note, couldn't you trick someone you gave the Death Note to
misspell the names of everyone in your task force four times?

I know nobody got a chance to do this in the anime, and probably not the manga
either, but this still seems the obvious method of setting up a Kira task
force: make the members immune to the Death Note without telling anyone,
putting Kira in the dark in a way that gives you a significant advantage.




Yes, you could, and having people be mistaken about the names and faces of
investigators was one of L's main strategies.
