That's where we probably disagree in principle. I don't believe they
are
under any obligation to define the limitations or suggest there are any.
They advertise and demonstrate it in a very specific way. That is the
extent of their claim. Anything, no... everything has limitations, yet
how often do you see an exhaustive list of them in a product
advertisement?
There's no need to. When the advertising and demonstrations of a
product
make clear what its intent is, then it's kind of simple. Of course,
once
the liability lawyers get done with this there will be all sorts of
disclaimors, but that's because we live in a world of stupid people who
are smart enough to sue over their own stupidity.

This is not about the legal obligations of advertisers. They've made a
claim. I don't buy their claim. If you do that's your business.

You are certainly entitled not to buy their claim. But... it was you that
raised the strawman argument obligations and advertising. Reference you
quote above where you state that sawstop does not state their limitations,
or even suggest there are any. Throughout this, I've never suggested or
stated that I buy any of their claims, that I believe in their product or
anything of the like. All I have done is question initially, why you seemed
to hold such a contrary opinion of the product and then subesequently, I
responded to a series of red herrings and strawmen that you threw out. So
far, you've really presented a pretty unconvincing argument, but that's ok
because I don't believe you were actually trying to convince anyone else not
to buy a sawstop saw. Good thing.


If it was their salesman then it _was_ "the demo".

Well, as a sales guy,

As a consumer I know not to trust sales guys.

That's a funny statement.

Says the sales guy with the vested interest in being trusted. How does
one
say "screw you" in Salesmanese? "Trust me".

Don't know much about sales do you? But then again, it's always easier to
hang on some cliche - it has more rhetorical value.
