Er, yeah, it does actually. In the UK, at least, you're not meant to claim
incorrect things in adverts. There's a body called the Advertising Standards
Authority that polices that, and there's a whole load of statute law on the
subject (Trades Descriptions Act, Control of Misleading Advertisements
Regulations etc. etc.).

Clearly there are shades of grey there and some advertisers will try to get
away with half-truths. But that does not mean that, if a hotel owner says
"hey, there's a hotel here, and it's called Bob's Hotel" we should
automatically assume they're doing it for a purpose other than correctness
and therefore "remove the whole POI".

cheers
Richard
