> This is basically a marketing piece, what good is fact-checking it

Not sure about the US laws, but here in Germany, all marketing claims must stay to the facts, or the company can be sued.

(Which is why most marketing speak uses fuzzy terms that sound nice but don't convey any information. But that's a general trend anyway.)

Yeah but we have 'freedom' here in the US </sarcasm>. I love French restrictions on adverts for medications as well, they're very stringent. As a dual US/EU citizen, I never run out of interesting divergences like the one you've pointed out.
Es musst die Wahrheit sein!!!
Ah, Hollywood German. How lovely.
