...while giving them a false memory of having been taught? The effect is the same but only one requires actual teaching. Couldn't God have used this principle to avoid killing people just to make a point?

For an omnipotent God this would be possible.

All sarcasm aside, the difference is that teaching someone to ride a bike is actually possible. Beyond that, they would both have the same effect.
Are you referring to all the people that God himself killed to make a point or all the people that people kill? I don't really see how the principle carries over

God isn't "just... mak[ing] a point". We have sinned. That means we are spiritually separated from God. He can't pretend it's not there any more than we can build only the top 10 stories of a 20 story building. Saying that "wages of sin is death" isn't an arbitrary fiat on the part of God, but a necessary consequence of a disastrous action.
