I was thinking the same thing, except "unethical" instead of "dishonest". It's like the lottery: a tax on people who don't understand math. Except that in this case it's more a lack of information than a lack of math understanding. I would advise teams who are thinking of using that line of marketing to check where their power typically comes from beforehand and adjust accordingly. There's already enough misinformation, deliberate or not, in commercials--why add to that misinformation just because your team needs to raise money?
