The odd thing is the guy actually does have some nice stuff. For the

Over the years I've met some number of salesmen who just do stupid **** like
that. They'll have a perfectly legitimate, if humble company with decent
products and some reasonable hope of expansion - then exaggerate to the point of
discrediting what they've really got. Or this bogus testimonial / sock puppet
thing - I don't get it. Why lie when the truth is available and perfectly
suitable to your intentions.

Oh well.

There's a current thread in the construction groups where a
manufacturer makes a totally outrageous claim - that their plastic
product that allows grass to be driven on (think honeycomb) can
support 97,000 pounds per square foot, or 1.2 fully loaded semi-
tractor trailers on every square foot. I find such claims insulting.
