<Of course not they want to fool the customers.>

And of course, you have no problem whatsoever with AMD trying to "fool the customers" by not publishing any FPU-based benchmarks for their K6-III, or publishing NT-based benchmarks for that matter. And you had no problem whatsoever when AMD said their K6-2's 3D performance was on-par with a Pentium II 400, even though no one is able to reproduce AMD's outrageous claims anymore. (Heck, on a related note, I'm sure you had no problem whatsoever with Apple saying that the iMac was faster than a 400 MHz Pentium II based on a single synthetic benchmark.)

It's the same game, no matter how you play it, or who the players are.
