He hasn't bought his yet*. I don't doubt that their marketing is misleading,

has just never tried any other similar glasses either.
Gunnar has in the past responded to claims about marketing hype:

If you do a Web search for the company Gunnar Optiks, you'll find this reaction

It's a yellow filter with an anti-reflective coating. And I doubt strongly
that it blocks as much high energy blue light as mine. Could you borrow his
pair?
I'd like to run some tests.
Their entire site is full of BS
