Puffery is used by marketers to make statements so bold that no-one should really believe them, but has its usage leaked into society so much that the line has been blurred?

In this free market society we live in, there continues to be a sleeping cartel that seemingly gets passed over, is generally accepted by the public, and it is an absolute atrocity. I'm talking about what I will now call, the 'Vet Cartel'. Backstory. I have two lovely pets: a cat named Finn, and pug named Zyla (or more lovingly nicknamed Squiggles).

Formula 1 arguably the world's most exciting motorsport. With some of the fastest cars on the planet, as well as some of the most intricate circuits, Formula 1 has it all. Except depth in competition. I believe that Formula 1's extreme standardization has ultimately led to this destruction in competition. One would think that with so much standardization that races could be a free-for-all for anyone to win. However that doesn't seem to be the case. It has inadvertently created superpowers...
