I’m not seeing a problem. There should never be a situation where a human cannot review the decision and reverse it.

  > Why is x 73rd on Google search ranking? It's unlikely that a human would be able to produce the exact same ordering, for any possible search term for all the pages and pages of results that Google shows.

    Since when are search results personal data?
    • manfredo 9y ago
      They are affected by personal data. E.g. if you performed a search, and your friend next to you performed the same search and got different results there is probably no way Google could give a concise or exact explanation as to why your results were different.

      I would guess personalized search results went mainstream on 2005 or so, as Google became popular, but perhaps some of the portals Google replaced (ask Jeeves and Yahoo) had personalized results before that

  It's not just reversing you should be able to explain how it arrived to that decision in the first place.
