Hi everyone,

Each manufacturer does whatever they want. And what they want is to look better than the other guy.
Most common would be to manipulate stage length to make your plane look better than theirs. But airlines do their own math, in a very detailed way, before making multi-zillion dollar buys. So it's all just marketing hype for the masses who cannot actually buy one anyway.
