Apologies to all for the childish diversion.
To get back on topic, I asked where choshen mishpat is likely to show up in everyday business. I can think of examples where there are gray areas in what could be considered honest. Where’s the line between putting your best face on and being dishonest?
Can a bakery advertise that we sell the best brownies in town when you know that many people prefer your competitors’?
Can you say the lowest possible price I could go to is $X, when it’s not really the lowest possible?
Are these examples of dishonesty, or can you rely on your customer not taking your words literally?
In law there are distinctions between an advertisement which is just puffery and can’t be proven or disproven (eg “we’re the best”) versus specific false claims (eg “4 out 5 people prefer…”)
