So is it ethical to create hysteria in order to sell your services?

I have been reading this thread and it seems to be way off the original topic. I guess I will add to that by throwing in my 2cents.
I would like to think that any intelligent and logical person would be able to read the available information regarding IMS or other issues with our cars and make their own decisions regarding if something is hysteria or whining. I appreciate having aftermarket options to address IMS or other issues that my car may or may not have.
All good marketing material shares the goal of trying to sell product. I hope we are all able to read marketing material and cull relevant information without being swayed or pressured into making a purchase decision on any product. I have read everything I could find on IMS issues, including Jake's and LNE's websites, and I have not experienced hysteria. I have driven my car from 45k to 90k miles with little IMS concern. I change the oil frequently, I don't lug the engine, and it definitely sees redline. I did decide last Fall to buy the IMSG and I will finish installing it this Spring. I decided that (for me) it was worth the relatively small cost to give me some warning if my car does experience IMS issues in the future.
I have no problems with Jake's marketing or whether LNE charges to be on their installer list. To me, both are examples of normal business practices.

We didn't start the "hysteria". Our developments were prompted by owners of the cars and nothing more.

You are close enough to our location to come answer our phones on a Monday morning.. I invite you to do that for a couple of weeks and you'll see that this is about as real as it gets... Its 1440 here now and we have had three failure calls already today. Thats about par for a Monday after a nice weekend in the spring driving season~

Thats just the facts; some people can handle the truth and others choose to whine about it.
