Steering people toward their point of view is just business and I agree they all do it (and I don't see anything wrong with this)... The extent to which facts can be stretched, and as you point out sometimes invented, is where companies can differentiate themselves. Julien Hi Mike,

Good point & thanks for sharing. Steering people toward their point of view is just business and I agree they all do it (and I don’t see anything wrong with this)… The extent to which facts can be stretched, and as you point out sometimes invented, is where companies can differentiate themselves.

This seems to be a pattern among businesses today to try and steer (mislead is a strong term) people toward their point of view. Its not only done in press releases (and all companies do it), but it is also done in company literature and websites, including case studies. Coming from an individual that has worked on projects that case studies have been written about, those projects were the most perfect project in the world and I must have done a good job in the project as the case study said so. The fact that I was still working on the project and it was never finished has very little to do with the actual facts. Julien,
