Err..I don't see what's wrong with referring to companies in that way... it happens all the time in almost all articles. If, say the court wants to penalize for the lies in the documents, would they penalize Google's lawyers or Google as a company? How would you want him to refer to Google as? >The author seems overly aggressive, and assumes that whatever "Google" did, it did rationally and intentionally.

It is really hard to imagine such a long and protracted miscommunication over such a key thing while suing the US federal government.
