You appear willing to go to much effort to prove the validity of the commercials. I certainly wouln't put bother imbedding the videos here.
The nature of advertising lends itself to be misleading, but not necessarily make false claims. Obviously, Macs are going to emphasize their strengths, and the commercials also tend to focus on perceived weaknesses of the PCs. If there were similar ads from a reversed perspective, highlighting all the weaknesses of Macs propaganda style, there would be equal debate. The problem is diehard Mac people and diehard PC people feel the need to blindly ignore the weaknesses of their camp while denying the benefit of the other.
