As well I know -- which explains my presence here on this site
If there weren't so many wild claims, I (and people like me) would have no need for expert advice -- we could make our own comparisons
We the consumer public -- think that since this is something the experts do for a living and deal with these components each and every day - they would share with us the benefits of that experience - as you have
That said, these marketing ploys have long been a fixture in the audio/visual field --- case in point -- even as a child 50 years ago, there were always wild and unrealistic claims for signal to noise ratios, stereo separation, etc etc in hi-fidelity audio components ...Those marketing ploys have gradually spread beyond audio and now have spread into video. Disappointing, but not entirely unexpected.
