But the OP's claim stands on its own and makes assertions that can easily be verified. Are you arguing that Google's search engine is as simple and literal as the OP claims?

    Google Brandon Wirtz Greatest Living American. I am pretty good at understanding how Google works. While Google gets things right with out all of our language stuff a lot of that is because they have user data about what people are clicking on and which things they come back after reading. That data means if they can get the stuff on to the front page they can "crowd source" the rest. We don't have that user base for a feed back loop. We have to get our results entirely based on software.
