Misleading advertising is prevalent everywhere.... If a frozen turkey covered in shellac (for that perfect browning) or cold coffee with soap foam on top (the perfect brew) doesn't count as "false advertising", a computer generated concept stands no chance.
While I don't disagree with the thought behind the argument, if someone relies ONLY on a salespersons advertising materials and does no further research that's on them... and they will be in for a surprise no matter where they buy.

Advertising I think is one of the biggest overlooked issues of our time. It has far more influence on people than they believe.
But I think the problems we are talking about here aren't that big in comparison...it's more a question of systemic influence.
