Agree completely, but I think there's a world of difference between emphasizing the positive and lying. Saying "our revenue is at an annual run rate of $1mm based upon the fact that we booked $83,000 in revenue in this month" is wildly different than fabricating numbers. ARR not being a particular useful metric on its own doesn't change this.
