Since you are confident in your position too, that is, it is basically ok to tell "Audiofibs" if it appears to be mutually beneficial for customers and sales, I thought I would put this question to a few of my colleagues to see what the general opinion might be. The question was posed in the form:

" Is it wrong for a person with scientific expertise, such as an Engineer, to advise anyone with information that they know is untrue and not based in science, provided there is a mutual benefit to both, and if there is no third party harm ?"

The general response was that on your side of the argument was, on the face of it, it appears harmless. However the Engineer who does this dishonors both themselves and their entire belief in science. In short, it is a dishonorable thing to do.

In this day and age there seems to be less importance placed on this quality, but it was and still is a severe no-no to behave dishonorably in Japan.
