Tony,
I think for marketing their use of Zero is entirely appropriate and consistent with current practice.
The use of "Zero" for something meaning "very low" is common (e.g. Coke Zero Soda, ArticZero Icecream, "Zero Emission" anything etc.).
So the only pants on fire belong to someone who goes out of his way to stir up trouble and negativity over what amounts to common practice.
BTW, if you read the paper closely, it only claims "zero source jitter", not "absolute zero".
Alas, I am not "into" bitcoin yet, but let me see what can be done.

They pursued it with forks and hope;
They threatened its life with a railway-share;
They charmed it with smiles and soap"
