I think there's sufficient reason to not believe him without evidence. Oasis took under a second to get to a login prompt, Debian took about 1.5-2s. UEFI BIOS takes longer than that on every system I've ever used, even little fanless ones(they weren't ever faster actually). So this claim alone makes me suspicious; but also booting faster than Oasis, on worse hardware, with more steps than my system with the slower of the two OS's I ran. I mean, there's a point where you suspend disbelief without evidence.

Am I misreading something? They said their system booted faster than the slow debian boot that you've shown, I think. That took (including the network time) like 8s to boot. It isn't surprising that they have a system that boots in 8s. As you note in the comment, it hangs on the network, but that's part of the boot. It is an irrelevant comparison, but there's no reason to call them a liar over it, because it is not that surprising that a system can boot in 8s.
