If dishonesty is "just business", is there any level of dishonesty that is "too much"? (It would be harder to argue that there could be "too much" honesty.)
I have no idea how you measure "too upset" or the amount of "inconsequentiality". (I'm not personally upset by it. I'm just stating facts.)

Yes, that's
exactly what I want!!
And, you don't need to say "not made to the highest standard", because I know and expect that!
There is
nothing wrong with "cheap" as long as the price matches value!

What I want is for ads to be honest (but I don't expect to get it).

It's also part of the "capitalist system" for people to point out dishonest business practices!
