Default Dimensional lumber

Surely this is a troll. Have you set the hook yet?

Is there any type of wood that is sold as per its dimension
anymore?

I tried to buy some cedar that was as advertised, nope even
something as simple as a 1x2 cedar strip is actually 5/8x 1 1/2.
It sucks because I have to buy a 1x4 board to fill a 2" gap or
actually I have to buy a 2x4 board and rip it 2 ways with a
tablesaw to fit a 1x2 gap. This has to be a ploy to sell more
lumber, can't this be attacked as a "truth in advertising" or
false claims angle?
