As much as we engineers can’t stand marketers, they don’t engage in marketing tactics like this without a good reason.

I’m with you on the objective statement, but don’t see an issue with a slightly overblown branding statement that summarizes the value a candidate brings to the table.

Factual I use not in the sense of being accurate, but grounded in objective fact. “Visionary” is not factual. “Experienced” is better, but I dislike it for other reasons.
