The first sentence is either incomplete or my non-native english parser stumbles and falls. Help me out, please.
Regarding the following statement: Your take seems a lot more sensible now. Still, I still don't feel that the matter's settled. If you claim that most people are worried about their petty problems of hiding their embarrassing search items from friends and family then I'd like to counter with the argument that the same 'most people' don't understand that removing one (the history listing) wouldn't remove the other (the data Google has).
Claiming that this wasn't the _intention_ is kind of hard. I'd say any layperson can expect that 'forget about X' or 'delete X' really purges the relevant data. That's what you're trained to believe. Even if the intention wasn't explicitly "I'm afraid of Google and want them to forget about my history":
Separating the data management like this is really just borderline abusive for casual users. Ask mom and dad if they expect that something is still stored and connected to their account if they remove it from the (browsing/web) history.
