That's why Shiva made fine print.
Marketing (the process, not the people)
requires the big number.
Honesty requires including the small number.
As long as they're both on the same page,
anyone with enough knoweldge to care
about the difference is likely to find both.
If the page is big enough,
marketing can even include numbers
for other vendors products.
