If one guy is just an idiot and gets confused, that's one thing. But it's another if a lot of people are getting confused because the business deliberately tries to obfuscate things.
My company certainly never intended to say that we would provide free computers. But we can't prove that it wasn't deliberately obsfucating on our part. The customer can always claim that we had an off-the-record instruction to our ad agency to deliberately mislead our customers.
So the two cases are in fact indistinguishable. An idiot who is confused is, for all intents and purposes, also the victim of "deliberate obfucating".
Which is why I'm saying that the latter is a stupid yardstick for regulations. It is not the company's responsibility to cater to fucking idiots who did not read the full product brief.
