And this all goes back to the average person theory. The average person will look at the pictures and go "oh verizon must be better because they have more color" which is what AT&T is trying to subtlety argue.

Do you really think that the average person knows what 3G is? 2G/EDGE? 4G? They don't care, I'll bet a poll will show that all people know is that 4G must be better because its one G higher than 3G. They just care if it works, and the real truth is that different devices and providers will work better/worse in the same area.
So the truth is "unfair" because the "average" person is too stupid to understand it?

Right.
Think about different companies advertise. Do they say "average 3G speeds on our network is blah..."? Instead what they advertise is "3G speeds up to..." to the average person they think they will get the max (look at people who have DSL, some people pay for 6 down but get what maybe 5.5 down due to distance from the CO), and then AT&T had to change their verbage to include "up to" but still you know how many people will sit there and say "AT&T sucks because I am not getting 6"?
