The words they ranked are also some of the most common words in the English language (Who, What, Why, How), words that get used in posts by theme (Ask, Developer), or pronouns (I, me).
What they should have done is to exclude these extremely common words and then rank what was left, like Google, Facebook, Steve Jobs. Those would have been far more valuable, but much noisier data.
