Really? I just figured that they were the type of people who respect the artist's word on their own music. Seems like a no brainer for me. I would respect a carpenter's claim that the chair he made was made out of hardwood oak much in the same way. Sure, they could be full of ****, but given that it's an artist's livelihood or passion, it wouldn't get them anywhere lying about something like that.
The word of the artist trumps all.
