...does it really matter? I prefer the companies tell it how it is, and not to censor information.

  > I prefer the companies tell it how it is, and not to censor information. At the risk of being equally pedantic... Does that really matter? And is there a company on Earth that will tell you everything with radical honesty? Is there any value in that? Does Tesla tell you how bad their batteries, plastics, or leathers are for the environment? No. They focus on the positive aspects of the product and the company. We prioritize and value what we need to know versus what we might like to know versus all of the other noise. And there is a lot of noise. Far too much noise for almost any of it to be useful. In fact, this is a tactic that large law firms use against small ones -- they DoS attack the small firms with too much paperwork during discovery in hopes that the small firm can't use it effectively and exhaust client expenses just trying to read through the material. I imagine it would just make it easier to build lawsuits against the radically honest companies and the only ones that survived would be the ones with the weasel words or diplomatic silence. Almost like a darwinism where the fitness function isn't relevant to any of the current economics that we observe or product features we care about. I find similar arguments against "political correctness" similarly tiring and fruitless.
