: more or less embarrassing than being caught photo-shopping damage
: out of catalog pictures, do you think?

For me the "Photoshoping"/image altering is way more embarrassing or damning than a dishonest description. The altering of an image can be nothing less than an intention to deceive on someone's part. A dishonest description is not necessarily intentional. Personally, I think AQ knows better or at least they should know better than to describe this horrid dial the way they did. That said, they have plausible deniability if they claim ignorance. Ignorance is embarrassing but the intentional altering of an image to deceive is criminal.
