First off, why are you assuming I'm saying that Google is responsible for my dog? You may want to re-read what I wrote. I never said I'm taking blind trust to what Google says. However, for the average person, hearing an answer so confidentially from a Google product gives it integrity - whether you agree with it or not. Think about it - millions of people Google medical questions and they trust "blindly" trust Google to provide them the right results. Do you honestly not see the dangers of Google giving a single answer response to these types of questions?

You did not explicitly say in your comment that you blindly what google says and you did not explicitly say that google is responsible for your dog. What you did explicitly say is: - You often ask "Can my dog eat X". - It would be horrible if google gave the wrong answer. - You hope google would take extra precautions with answers to medicine/safety. The second point implies that you act with this information alone and the third one implies that you would at least partially blame google in that instance. I am actually terrified that you think there are millions of people blindly trusting google with medical questions. That is a very stupid thing to do. They should go to a doctor or at least read a bit further then that. I do maybe see the danger of providing a single answer response to medical questions, but I don't jump to assume that they should take extra precautions. Rather I would think that they should stop providing answers to these questions. Or maybe they should do the idiotic american thing of providing disclaimers for common sense things. Like this: Don't blindly trust google. Talk to your doctor/vet/lawyer/expert. Why should they take extra precautions? Why would they be responsible?
