Re-naming the equipment that does the tilling then calling it no-till is the most extreme euphemism I've yet seen.
Why bother to go to so much trouble just to make a lie believable to the clueless?
Bizarre.

The only lying is by those farmers who are lying about being no-till. They are NOT. 
 
No-till works and I have seen it with my own eyes.  I, personally, know two farmers who are no-till and have been for 40 years.
 
No-till never tills and leaves all organic matter on top of the soil.
 
IT WORKS and there are plenty of farmers in every state and country who can prove by their farming that it does work.
