I don't believe Jeff is being dishonest, but it did occur to me that if one was paid out to advertise a product, that's exactly how you'd do it.

So by your standard, every "I like this product" post on every well-read blog should be suspiciously viewed as potentially paid advertisement. That seems way too far off the cynical deep end to me...
