Your statement really isn't any different than saying "Amazon says the mute button is real".

Which we already knew.

The problem is that many people don't trust the good faith of the company you work for, and by extension they won't trust you either.

If you don't trust the mute button, don't buy an Echo.

Many people trust this "word of mouth" way of telling stories, but for those who know rhetorics this pattern should raise a warning. (it is not my intention to accuse, just doing some rhetoric deconstruction) The "so the teardown is correct" part is backwards. Calling the billionaire ceo by his first name tries to create an aura of personal knowledge. At the core it is an argumentum ab auctoritate. Honestly this is worse than "amazon said so" because it is veiled.

You very clearly are not the target audience for this device.
