Would it be illegitimate for a writer to write an article for a travel
magazine about Tonga when that writer has no other relationship with Tonga
other than having spent 10 days vacationing there?

Would it be illegitimate for a wine merchant to advertise that they are a
"French" wine merchant when they have no other relationship with France
other than the fact that they buy wine from that country?

I could go on. 

But I don't feel like a raving lunatic today. And I don't work for Best,
not now, not ever. And I have never been a sheriff in the state of Kansas
either.
