Also, two of your links leads to the ad which wrongly compares the screen size of diagonal length is bigger.
However, when Google wrongfully claims a Chromebox with a Celeron is running a Intel Core(TM) Processor, no one cares or makes big blog post on HN about it.
The advert was apparently done by a Microsoft affiliated marketing firm, so it made sense (to me) to include it.
In regards to your second point, Google and others often make mistakes in their adverts. Microsoft creates deliberate lies and seeks to create confusion and falsehood. Much like your post, to be honest. Have you considered a job on Microsoft's marketing department? I believe they are desperately seeking talent.
Affiliated marketing firm means MSFT made the claim or guilt by association?
The Lumia 920 camera issue was wholly the responsibility of Nokia, thus why they issued the statement. It doesn't seem unusual that partners on a device might share marketing firms, so this link as an example is a bit of a stretch.

Reference?

So when Google claims the Chromebox has a Core processor, it's an unintentional mistake, but when Microsoft says a 10.1" screen is bigger than a 9.7" one, it's a deliberate lie.
