The website also doesn't clarify the fact that filePro will, in
fact, run on a Friday the 13th under a full moon.

Now, if you had told me that you got the misconception based on
something from the website, or even from something that fPTech
had said, I would agree that the website should do something to
correct it.  To say that the website should clarify something
that, until now, no one has ever said (AFAIK), is asking a bit
much, don't you think?
