DISBELIEVING ADVERTISEMENTS

I made a living doing forensic engineering studies with a particular consumer product.

When somebody or something (Manufacturer) "Has A Dog In The Fight" they are going to go out of their way to skew, bias, manipulate and in some cases outright lie about negatives if a negative would significantly negatively impact sales. Has this changed since the 1980's the end of the decade marked my Swan Song in my Studies in my field?

If you believe corporate ethics has undergone a born-again shift to honesty I have sad news for you.

And I always keep in mind on this forum that an individual's personal experience and reporting is sacred ground. Third rail subject of integrity - touch it and you die (credibility). To clarify to declare as bunk someone's personal experience as being (BUNK) is the same as plunging a dagger into your belly and yanking upward in my book.

Ever heard of a troll? They're alive and well in many forums. Like those that come on here and their very first post is a long diatribe slamming a particular rv and then they disappear. Negative advertising?

Well....except for those folks who've been away from Planet Earth for awhile, I think everyone's pretty well aware that one can't believe everything one reads/sees in an ad.
