By their definitions. Perhaps to gain attention or just for grins. It is simply not possible with a normal carbon fiber brush, using the Hunt EDA as the example. Another would be the Audioquest brush. They are extremely fine and have almost no surface resistance. If anything, they do too little to remove dust, not actively abrade records. They work by electrostatic charge, not by pressure. If someone received a sample that had no bristles but adhesive or bare plastic and was ignorant enough to scour a piece of vinyl with it, then it could be that the vinyl could be scratched.
I may not be the sharpest at physics, but I have engineered my way out of a load of wet paper bags and I know for a fact that a harder material will scratch a softer material in a second. So unless the vinyl was abused by a harder material or by the application of a huge amount of force, or both, then it is simply not possible to achieve that level of damage. I also don't believe that anyone is ignorant enough to have applied that much pressure (although I cracked a 78 shellac ages ago, as a kid by cleaning it on my mattress rather than on a hard, flat surface - another lesson in engineering!) with anything soft such as the brushes in question to cause that. Therefore it's a hoax. The only possible other cause for the initial stir would be that the record was scratched previously from another incident (whether at Knob Creek or elsewhere!) and not noticed by the original poster until after the "light cleaning" with the Hunt brush. In that case, he would have simply and falsely placed blame on the brush as he was unaware of any prior damage. Otherwise it was intentional...

Than just call me ignorant. Because this happened to me. I do not blame it on the brush I blame it on me because I used it before reading the instructions. Now let me clarify it. I bought a new HUNT brush from a well known audio dealer. I than used it on my 45rpm Mendelssohn, which was a mistake in the first place, as I was using the Audioquest brush. I did put it on the LP like the Audioquest. After a few revs. I pushed it down and dragged it over the LP. And this was the error. I did than send the brush back. The record was new. And I was looking for a more efficient way to clean my LP's. Perhaps the brush was defect. I don't know. There is no hoax, because that would mean I want to trick someone, which I certainly not. And it was not intentionally, because that would mean that I am stupid, which I am not either. After all this record is about $50. I just made a mistake, and in my opinion the people on this board should know about it to not make the same 'stupid' mistake.Styx
