misleading

Read a random definition: United States v. Darby

A quick definition of misleading:

Term: MISLEADING

Definition: Misleading means giving instructions or directions that are confusing or tricky on purpose, so that people might misunderstand them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Misleading (adjective) refers to something that is designed to deceive or misinform people. Examples: - The advertisement for the weight loss pill was misleading because it claimed to help people lose 10 pounds in a week without any exercise or diet changes. - The politician's speech was misleading because he made promises that he knew he couldn't keep just to get people to vote for him. Explanation: The examples illustrate how something can be misleading when it is intentionally designed to deceive people. In the first example, the weight loss pill advertisement is misleading because it makes unrealistic claims that are not supported by scientific evidence. In the second example, the politician's speech is misleading because he is making promises that he knows he cannot fulfill, which is a tactic used to gain support from voters. Both examples show how misleading information can be harmful and can lead to false beliefs or actions.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
