>Fundamentally, I disagree. "Too good to be true" marketing is a great sign you're being scammed Sure, there is definitely a scale where something becomes "too good to be true" and increasing your own skepticism in proportion with that scale is a sensible approach. My point was that it can be short-sighted to judge something off a single data-point when that data-point comes from the marketing departments copywrite rather than the technical aspects of the project. I'll just go back to my example. If I swore off nVidia solely off the single data-point of the card being advertised as "military grade", that'd be rather unfortunate because the product itself is really quite good in my opinion. Even though "military grade" is a wildly stupid thing to advertise a graphic card as. All I'm saying is that technical projects should not solely be judged based on a single marketing claim. In the large projects I've been a member of, I have absolutely zero say in how it is advertised. And the marketing department making the advertising could not possibly care less about the technical merits of the project. The rest of what you said is applicable specifically to Arweave, which I don't care one bit about, so I don't have any specific comments on that.
