I disagree. I've worked with plenty of people that would probably take this statement at face value and assume you could scale to a completely arbitrary amount of load with no marginal effort.

Plus, there's a difference in context here: we're talking about a technical product. It doesn't hurt to be precise and technical in your description of it, does it? This is the most likely setting in which someone might interpret something literally.
