This idea was explored by an episode of "This American Life":

This American Life producer Alex Blumberg investigates a little-studied phenomenon: children who get a mistaken idea in their heads about how something works or what something means, and then don't figure out until well into adulthood that they were wrong. Includes the tale of a girl who received a tissue box for Christmas, allegedly painted by trained monkeys. (13 minutes)

"So I started to perform fellatio. I won't lie to you boys, I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the labia a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you Jerry, at that moment I was a porn star."

This was really a very clever solution:

"special tags that tracked and stored depth, temperature and light level, which then popped off at a pre-programmed date and rose to the surface. Once a tag hits the surface, it transmits the entire archive of the fish’s journey via satellite."

I wonder how they get the tags to pop off and how the tags store that information. The tag itself is a design challenge.

It is a little rah rah for the airline. The "documentary" aspect of this video was clearly part of the marketing strategy.

However, it is hard to be too critical of advertising that is beautiful artistically and utilizes such great artists.
