Advertising can be deceptive but not all advertising is deceptive. You need to develop an ability to evaluate what you are being told. Two old sayings apply to your question, "Let the buyer beware" and "Knowledge is Power". It's up to you, the individual, to be responsible for what you believe and what you don't.
