It's starting to sound like this "mobilization" process is the marquee project pushing this, if Google is still a "nothing gets done that won't result in a promotion" shop, which is another stereotype the company has built for itself. Also, people have technical knowledge here, even if they've never been hired by someone as "the best of the best," or having graduated from a top 10 CS school, so handwaving "fundamentally works differently" is not actually likely to be the enlightening description you might hope it would be.
