Those examples to me are like finding a maggot in a piece of meat. Maybe that's the only one, and if you just remove it the rest is ok, but it's going to make you pretty suspicious especially if it already smells. The reality is that it's almost impossible for google to measure how much their results influence bing. After all, they are both trying to rank the same internet. The best they can do is prove the obvious cases and let bing do the explaining.

> they are both trying to rank the same internet. Yeah, this was a point I wanted to make in one of my blog posts. If Google wanted to claim some kind of ownership over SERPs, that would be ridiculous because you could easily argue that there is only one correct set of "ten links ordered from most relevant to least" for each query. Eventually all search engines will converge on the same ten results for every query. I don't think Google ever made such a claim of ownership, but it was taken that way by some.
