And mentioning any of this is described as a "personal

This is your interpretation.
There exists no statement which says that this is a novel
product. In fact, there is a direct quote where it says
this is based on a well known scientific principle, and
that this is basically a battery.
You have just taken a "this sounds like" and turned it
into "a claim"; you have just invented through
assumptions and insinuations a problem which does not
exist. The idea that these people are being deceptive
is in your head.
You based all this perceived deceit on the technical
definition of the word 'power', or the phrase 'to
power',
and their lack of a complete, one-sentence description
of the operation of the chemical reaction which creates
energy in the device.
In the end, they do get across fully the idea of how
the device works and the implications thereof.
This is a textbook example of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD).
And it's an incredibly long troll.
There are no false claims in this web site.
They explain that salt + water added to the lamp will
create power, which it will, because that's the only
thing the machine lacks in order to produce power.
If you have a car, and I said "this car is powered by
gasoline", would this be a misleading, false claim
about the product? Would I be a liar?
According to you and the parent commenter, Yes, because
the car requires a battery and spark plugs to ignite
the gasoline along with oxygen.
Technically speaking, gasoline, oxygen, vacuum, a
battery, spark plugs, a fuel pump, fuel injectors, an
ECU, sensors, pistons, valves, and a whole lot more
shit are needed to "power" the car. Without all those
things there is no "power" created. What generates the
power directly is spark igniting a precise mixture of
gas and oxygen, which then applies force to mechanical
parts. But a lot more things are involved in making
that happen, and maintenance is required on most of it.
All of which the average car user has no effing clue
about.
You do not need to know any of that in order to 'power'
a car. And I am not a liar for telling you a car is
'powered' by gasoline. I simply didn't explain the
design of the internal combustion engine to you.
The car comes with a battery, spark plugs and oxygen,
just like this lamp comes with an anode, and it needs
regular maintenance, just like the various parts of a
car. Just like gasoline for a car, water and salt are
the fuel for this lamp. The fuel is the only part you
need to understand to use it.
They explain several times that the anode has to be
replaced every six months [based on average use]. They
have omitted nothing. There is no deception. Just
simple language explaining only what you need to know
to use it.
The product's users are not chemists or engineers.
They're tribal villagers in the Philippines, for
christ's sake. Anyone who speaks english and is
intelligent enough to pay for the project will read the
whole thing, just like all of us did, and realize how
it works, just like all of us did, and be satisfied.
Salt water is free.

The materials will simply survive better in this
environment than traditional batteries, and need to be
replenished less.
I challenge you to quote the 'misleading' sections verbatim
Sustainable and cost effective ecologically designed
lamp powered by "tap water" and "table salt!"
You can also use the ocean-water to power up your lamp!
Use the ocean-water to power up your lamp and it will
give you 8 hours of running-time.
Store ocean-water in bottles and use them to power up
you lamp anytime, anywhere.
