It's outside bounds of expectation if you know how language works. People expect products labelled "boneless" to have no bones. Words mean things.

Well, I'd also expects "boneless wings" to be wings, but apparently that is not true, either.

Product naming has become an area where "meaning" is no longer a thing. It's the sad reality where advertisement has replaced communication.
