Yes indeed, Schneier is right. The work unbreakable does have a meaning in English and it's a word that people regularly use and know how to use correctly.

Unbreakable: impossible ro break.

They are indeed lying and marketing spin can't change that fact.

Unfortunately for them, they appear to be in the process of making yet another mistake. Not admitting they are wrong. People and organizations that lie about obvious things, normally suffer the consequences of assailing our senses. People are likely to remember that Oracle isn't afraid to lie, and lie on a big scale, and its sales will suffer. Just exactly the opposite result of what they were hoping for when they coined this indefensible slogan "Oracle in Unbreakable."
