How is that being "hypocrite"?
The Martin Authentics come as close as possible to the pre-war models -- but I see no claims anywhere that it's the "exact" replica of a 1937 model.
Authentic, vintage reissue, golden era, etc. are all marketing terms that need to be taken with the right perspective.
If you think the "Authentic" sticker guarantees it's the exact replica, then you need to revisit your expectations.
