I admit that I exaggerated with my wording that you think Google is non-existent on the academic front. It's unfortunate that your response focuses almost entirely on this one aspect, and not the message my post attempted to convey. > someone who correctly points out that Google is not #1 in funding academic researchers This type of wording is unnecessary.
