Munich is a base malt, not a specialty..at least for many. I've made a lot of 100% Munich beers.
Next mind blow is that not all Munichs are the same. Can be as different from maltster to maltster as any other grain. I use Best Malz and have used Great Western. They are night and day to me. Both excellent, just different.

The variety of barley and the way it's treated by the maltster make a huge difference

I'm give it a little more credibility if they specify, for example, Great Western Washington Select Pale Malt and Breiss C40.With just naming 2 Row and C40 you end up with the chatter of "I brewed it and it wasn't close" "Really? I thought it was spot on..."
