I asked for your help in making scenario A plausible. You ignored me and complained that my fictional scenarios were fictional.

I take this as an admission that you cannot imagine a scenario in which the marketing practices you claim are non-deceptive are in fact non-deceptive. That says it all, really.

OP invented every part. The made-up nitpicking, a la dreamland, is in your response. OP did a good job illustrating his position. Both scenarios sounded bad to me, as neither operates on profit by margins, but instead on the hiding of information from the consumer.
