Do I know that for a fact? No. Does anyone know that it's not. No, again. I think it's ok to take a different position on an issue, but sometimes maybe we could just topple it gently as opposed to smacking it down. JMO.

My Privia PX-800 has the Casio logo, but it's pretty small. Maybe that's on purpose.
Casio poses a lot of competition to Yamaha in the entry level arranger and digital piano market. IMO, Casio offers slightly more for the money in digital pianos. Yamaha doesn't have anything like the PX-330 in that price set. If Casio moves into mid-level arrangers, they would probably pose some serious competition to Yamaha.
It's funny that someone mentioned the G-Force watch. I have a G-Force atomic watch. It's a monstrosity for my small wrist, but being a ditz, I need a watch that tells me the day and date and has a night light. I love that it is always precisely on time (and that it's water proof to 300 meters so in case I'm found on the bottom of the ocean I can bequeath my watch). When someone asks me the time, and I tell them to the very minute, suppressing telling them the very second, I feel like an Englishman.
