I somehow knew this would touch off a firestorm.

Come on, lots of people measure people's interest in ways where they go to some page or do an action and nothing is there.

True, after that, those people probably won't trust you unless they have a good reason to. But in the end of the day, you didn't really harm them and there are many more people.

Look I'm not saying it's not lying. I'm saying that there are worse things in the world than sending 20 people to a page to gage their interest.
