I don't because they won't let me. I'm ethical and moral. To me, truth in
advertising means that if asked a question about your product, you answer
truthfully.
IMO, if more comapanies did that, more customers would trust the companies
they do business with. There's nothing wrong in admitting that your product
falls short. If it's important enough, then the answer should be "This is a
problem, and we are working on fixing it." Or at least come out and say
something like "Yeah, we know about that, but we not enough people have
complained to make it a priority yet."
To me, coming out and admitting that it a lot better than ignoring it.
But that's me. Maybe the majority of people like getting lied to, or
responded to with mis-leading and evasive answers.
It all comes back to my philosophy that "The world would be a whole lot
happier of a place if everyone would just be nice."
So I'm an idealist, sue me :)
