First, a dissection of your proposed fallacy: A is bad, B is similar to A, therefore B is bad. See the problem?
Second, the Sonicare is not about strokes per minute, it's about using high-frequency vibrations to disintegrate nascent plaque deposits so they can't build up.
My dental visits have been reduced to 15 minute affairs due to a nearly complete lack of plaque, and gum recession has virtually disappeared, since I started using a Sonicare several years ago. Granted, I don't always have time to fiddle with it, so I typically use it about three times a week in the evenings and do a conventional twice-a-day brushing otherwise. But it does work and most people in any field of dental hygiene recommend it or one of its competitors.
What were you saying about fake news?
