"handpicked" clarinets....

Kia ora,
A certain vendor on a certain auction site (based in the USA) keeps on advertising 2nd hand clarinets as....

"handpicked by a top University Professor & Artist/Soloist."

In the past, being quite interested in an instrument advertised (and knowing people in the same city/state who would be able to play test for me) I enquired to the vendor as to WHO it was who had handpicked the clarinet. And the vendor was unwilling to tell me. My suggestion that this unwillingness was due to the fact that they may be lying or exagerating was not well received. As far as I'm concerned, if you can't say WHO it is, you shouldn't be using it as advertising. If you are unwilling to be frank and honest, then don't get pissed off if someone suggests you may be lying.
Comments and/or opinions welcome, am I just being an old grump?
