Totally agree. It's very easy for Google to tweak their algorithm little by little to affect public opinion over time. I think if the change happens slowly enough; nobody, would notice. I doubt that Google would tweak their algorithm in such a way that it would work against their interests (if this happened, I bet they would just roll back the change) - That alone gives Google an advantage over everybody else. It's a bit like how some manufacturers were able to slowly lower the quality of their products over time and still retain or improve market share because people just didn't notice...
