Our suppliers "parrot back" what their "manufacturers" tell them. I'm sure you have also seen the sample nibs, Roy--do they avoid lying on the imprint? No!
So, why do we assume their claims of plating are accurate? Do I trust one over the other? Yes. But that is from a 15 year experience with the owner of my supplier---so I have a personal "comfort level" with the "top man", who is, most likely, the ONLY person who knows what the "spec" is and how it is ratified.
As I have said, you are free to say whatever you wish. For ME, if it sounds "too good to be true", it usually is.
