If it's legit, they are doing a horrible, horrible job at advertising
it convincingly. If it's legit, it almost feels like they are
*deliberately* trying to make it sound like an inexistent hoax product
that's being marketed with fancy nonsensical marketing words aimed at
fooling laypeople.

Their "explanations" don't actually explain anything, and they use
concepts that seem completely contradictory to facts. Just as a good
example, consider:

"The reason why Euclideon is so quick to load is because we are actually
running it straight from the hard drive instead of from the RAM."

That sentence makes absolutely no sense. Firstly, you can't "run" anything
directly from the hard drive (you could *read* data directly from the hard
drive, but that's not "running"). Secondly, RAM is like a million times
faster than any hard drive, so saying that it's faster because it's reading
data directly from the hard drive rather than the computer's RAM makes no
sense.

They are probably trying to say something else, but as said, it almost
feels like they are *deliberately* trying to make it sound like a hoax
aimed at gullible laypeople who know nothing about computers.

Add to that the fact that comments are disabled, and it only reinforces
the notion.

If it's legit, they are doing a horrible, horrible job at advertising it
properly.
