That doesn't change the fact that it is structurally solid, a good value at its price, long lasting, and versatile.
It also doesn’t change the fact that the company is either lying through omission or purposefully. They are claiming that you can carry around a full sized adult on the rear rack which is obviously not true. I wouldn’t trust someone who makes that kind of claim.

​​​​​​​It easily handles fully packed touring weights in multiple mounted configurations and doesn't noticeably twist or sway. That's really all that is needed here.
Which makes their exaggeration all the worse. They could have a good product but they don’t need to overinflate its abilities.
