Well, the manufacturers boast about their product's towing capacity to no end, so it's no wonder people are enamored by it. Do yourself a favor and don't put all your eggs in the tow capacity basket. Load up your TV as if you were going camping and get it weighed at a CAT scale and figure out what you have left for payload and match your TT to your TV by doing the math - not with your eyes or by guessing. Above all, don't stick your head in the sand and let budget concerns override safety concerns. And I agree - there a lot of idiots out on the roads.

Take a look at the What can I tow? page.
Good luck.
On edit - reread your post. If the salesmans lips are moving, he is most likely lying. Don't depend on them to tell you anything - after all they are trying to sell you something.
