This is a really bad analogy. We can understand Google Search far, far better than the economy. Google itself is just one small part of the economy. We can test hypotheses, run concrete tests in seconds, and we have SEO experts which can reasonably reliably get you to the top in a few months. There is no equivalent for the economy. We can't run macro-scale real-world tests. Hypotheses are basically unverifiable.
