But you're giving AA (and U.S carriers in general) too much credit if you think they'd never market a turd as a golden nugget.

In this case, indeed he was just served the wrong thing and lied to. But I couldn't tell you in honesty that if they presented soggy lobster on two pieces of bread that I'd automatically know I wasn't getting what AA is calling a "Lobster Roll".
There's a difference between a random once a year flier not being able to tell and a very well read (on FT no less) blogger who has most certainly seen photos in the meal thread of the lobster roll. No question.
