So, "stainless" has no real-world referent with respect to steel? A
seller can advertise carbon steel as "stainless steel," as long as he
includes a disclaimer _inside_ the packaging that notes that his
"stainless" steel may actually stain, under normal use?
I don't know, Dave. It still seems kinda shady to me.

I DO know, Wilson. It *is* shady.
