A very Zen question! I would say yes. The essence of an April Fool's joke is
to get the victim to believe a falsehood. HOW you get them to do so matters
not to the "joke"-ness. And disbelieving something that is true is just as
much belief in a falsehood as believing something that is not true.
IMHO anyway.

And the essence of a really good one of that type is giving the "victim" enough clues so that when the falsehood is revealed, they feel like they should have or could have gotten it...yet not too many clues as to give it away. :-) (...)
