Yes. Also, "I base my understanding of the product on the bullshit some other sales team wrote for the company page two pivots ago" trick. Or, "a thousand or a billion, it's all the same, who counts all these zeros (and what's that 'scalability' word you keep using?)" move.

"I base my understanding of the product on the bullshit some other sales team wrote for the company page two pivots ago"

is slightly more forgivable than the other things, particularly if you change "sales team wrote" to "marketing team wrote". In a company with more than one or two products it gets very hard to keep track of what a company actually sells, and the marketing material is at least theoretically a customer-consumable list of that.
