Not being a mind-reader I can't tell if or when a maker/seller is deliberately telling porkies or knowingly bullshitting. So without a clear reason, I can't doubt their sincerity. People believe all kinds of things - sometimes rightly, sometimes in error.
However as an engineer/physicist I can notice when their 'technical explanations' are nonsense, or MOOM, and when they seem to have no idea of *relevant* engineering differences which could explain something, but do so without a need for a significant hike in the cost of a product. This does, at least, help clear away some of the clutter and may make it easier to focus on any interesting cases where something 'new' may be found.
