- awill 5y agoExactly. No information is better than inaccurate information.
- adrusi 5y agoNo it doesn't. It clearly could mean that, but it literally just means the person has associated with the company. I don't know why they'd use language that could create that confusion, but it's not straightforward dishonesty.
- ant6n 5y agoIt could mean that, but not clearly, and it really doesn't mean that.
- dev_tty01 5y agoSetting aside whether it is a good practice or not, if all of these agencies know that Apple does this, then it becomes a de facto meangingless term. If this has been an ongoing practice for a while and an agency is not aware of it, then it is a bad agency to work with.
- BoiledCabbage 5y agoSo your answer is "It's ok to be misleading. And because you don't know you're being mislead it's your fault"? Yeah I have a very different opinion of that situation.
