It's like using "certified pre-owned" instead of "used".

Except that one actually makes sense, because “certified” means it was inspected and warrantied by a dealership versus a “used” car which is most often sold as-is.

Right. Certified preowned is not just a marketing term.

So just double-speak as regular english
