Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s  the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the  . An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples. ”It  to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
