To add to what the other commenter noted about varying levels of truth...

There is marketing of product and then marketing of company and then marketing of person/people. Not only does each have varying levels of truth, but each also has varying types of intent. The later in SV seems designed to encourage beliefs about a person or company that are immune to facts that counter them.

Branding it as marketing starts, to me, to sound like a convenient cover for propaganda.
