pretty sure it's all companies you shouldn't ever believe... advertising = lies

Correct.

There may have been a time where advertising was honest but nowadays, the Help Desk rule applies "never believe a customer unless they are confessing".

If a company is making a claim that benefits them, you cannot believe it without independent, third party corroboration. If they are confessing to wrong doing, you should assume it's 10x worse than what they are stating.
