While you are right, of course, in what you say; what we have here is 
advertising and puffery.  We see this everyday in all fields of life -- 
sellers of products stretching the truth, ignroing other products with the 
goal, of course, of geting the consumer to believe that their product is 
the one and only solution to one or more of life's needs or wants.
In some ways, over the years, due to the lack of product choices, the 
blind community has been sheltered from this form of marketing.
So, welcome to the world of competitive choices and advertising.  Blind 
consumers, like all consumers, need to become aware and educated.
We instinctively recognize this with advertising and marketing in general; 
we should expect no difference in marketing to us.
So don't expect a response from the seller of this product; rather, and 
more importantly, better just to express your views to the blind world and 
when appropriate evaluate and review the product.
Be glad that more and more alternatives are now available to us and that 
choices do exist.
We're all old enough to remember the days when these choices were figments 
of our imaginations with no real expectation that they might be fulfilled.
Well, they are being fulfilled in spades now and be glad for that.
And, in the marketplace, sellers compete for our spending dollars like 
elsewhere trying to convince us that life is incomplete without this or 
that.
