Sometimes it is a matter of deliberately giving false information, but 
rather of not checking everything carefully. Jeff's "sites" are 
obviously spoofs, or at least it is obvious to us. Since the "sites" 
look real, they may fool someone who doesn't pay close attention to what 
is actually written.

For those of you who haven't checked Jeff's site, you need to do so. 
Make sure you are not holding a cup of hot coffee, though. Keyboards 
don't like hot coffee.
