The fact that: 1. This is not new, 2. It’s not just Google, 3. Microsoft did it (or even still does it), 4. A bunch of web experts don’t take it seriously because a bunch of web sites don’t take it seriously. Does not in any way invalidate or make absurd the proposition that: 5. Google’s actions are noxious. Points 1 through 4 are, however, informative and provide valuable context for Google’s noxious actions.
