I think you're making the same "Facebook will kill Google because it's social" argument all over again, just from the mathematical, rather than social, perspective. What I'm trying to say is Google incorporates many types of signals into its algorithm, it's not just one thing such as "social", which is why Facebook could never in fact "beat Google" at their own game (search engines), no matter how hyped up that was a few years ago. I think the same is true about Wolfram Alpha.
