It should not be a surprise that a merchant trying to make money might have some difficulty with really being up front with his or her advertising. The courts have even made up some excuses for commercial lying and it is often referred to as "puffery" as opposed to "lying." Just sounds better. Maybe the merchant in question would like to revise his ad and publish it once again.
