This is marketing puffery. It's an imprecise claim about the product's goodness that cannot be objectively tested.

I see a very high inflation of the word "puffery* in the recent times ;D

Duh

(I know, you watched a recent WAN show and just wanted to brag with the word puffery)

[–] Zak 6 points 4 days ago

I hadn't heard of the WAN show before this comment. I learned about puffery as a kid when my parents were shopping for a car and I was very excited to inform them I had just heard on the radio that a specific dealership was the best.
