[executive summary of reply appended at end] Well, no, y'all could do the right thing and be respected for it by those who care about technical details. You could even turn this to your advantage by getting corrective notes published.. oh, wait, you're talking about what a marketing department will do.

Say, you won't be offended by this characterization of marketing, will you? It seems to be more or less what has to be behind your own observation about all falling into line with the latest misinformation du jour... [summary: "Bullshit." ]
