How do you feel about the sort of tactics advocated in "Nudge" by
@CassSunstein and@R_Thaler? eg. Changing organ donation default so you have to opt-out rather than opt-in results in many more people choosing to be (presumably more virtuous) organ donors. -
that seems like a lovely idea though it's orthogonal to the question of anybody being virtuous it doesn't involve misrepresenting anything, we can accurately say that our best guess is that after you are dead you will not care what happens to your organs

If coercion by our circumstances is unavoidable, shouldn't we want to be coerced in ways that benefit us? Isn't it preferable to be coerced into wellbeing? If true, doesn't negate your point.
-
people's ideas about what constitutes wellbeing in another person are somewhat famously disparate with their ideas about what constitutes wellbeing in themselves

Your choice is between 'this is what I think is true', 'this is what I hope is true', 'this is what is best for you to believe', and 'this is what is best for me for you to believe', and 'this would make me laugh if you actually bought it'. So the prof. is squarely in the middle.

though 'this is what is best for you to believe' is basically always 'this is what is best for me for you to believe'
