Eh, depends on the context. But I would agree that in this context is dishonest. The abstract goes as far to say "Furthermore, the effects of ... wave energy capture performance ... are investigated.". [1] So It really seems like they do know and don't want to say. That said, doing ideas that might not be economical now isn't a bad idea. Basic research is useful; but do be honest.
