If Washington distributes the material, he is actually misrepresenting. Just like if I'm your boss and I tell you to tell all prospective clients we guarantee 8%+ returns. You get into a meeting w/ a prospective client and say, "We're gonna guarantee you an 8% return." You didn't violate Standard I (A), you violated Standard I (C) misrepresentation.

Paper marketing materials is just one form of communication. Misrepresentation is misrepresentation, no matter what form.
