Agreed, very well thought out.  However... "A small degree of flex eliminates metal fatigue" ..... um, no. 

 

Actually... um, yes. No flexability in the metal framework will eventually lead to metal fatigue, cracking and breaking. Too much will cause damage to the attached structure.

Excepting things like constrained thermal stress, things that don't flex don't fatigue.  They may still break, but not due to high or low cycle fatigue.  It says it's made of aluminum which exhibits no endurance limit.  If it's aluminum and it flexes, it'll break eventually.  There are instances when allowing a structure to flex a bit can be beneficial and reduce the tendency to crack, but it just bugs me when marketing people make statements that are inherently wrong.  Call it a pet peeve.
