Last year I noticed at least 3 storms that would not have been named in times past. But they have to meet their quota (prediction) so they name every system that pops up.
The criteria for naming a storm is quantifiable. If it doesn't meet that criteria, it remains an invest or an unnamed tropical depression.
If they lied for the reasons you state, then how do you explain that we've had less named storms than predicted during the past two years?

Yes, I can confirm I read the same thing last years.
Storms were given names that should not have been named to conceal their phony weather predictions. Instead, they made everything worse by showing themselves to be weather predictors without sufficient information. The cover-up was both laughable and insulting.
