Don't we recommend using the equivalent of a teaser ad as a teaching tip? As when we end a class by posing an interesting question that will be addressed in the upcoming reading and discussed in the next class session.
Of course, if we don't deliver, we've violated one of Grice's conventions. I'm still mad at an undergrad prof who promised that in the next class he would show us how our understanding of a word could be fundamentally altered (or something like that) - and then never mentioned it again.
