Do you know what a word index is? a.com/b says "gress is dumb" A word index of that one site would look like these key / list-of-values pairs: gress: [a.com/b] is: [a.com/b] dumb: [a.com/b] If I search on a that word index for the word "gress," I might get as a result: a.com/b "gress is dumb" So, now you're pissed, because the word index says you're dumb. I say you can be pissed at the operators of a.com, or the specific author of the web page b. Maybe even take them to court. YOU'RE the one who said that operating the word index was harmless. This legal case is EXACTLY ANALOGOUS to what I described, and the only important function of Google Search Engine, as far as this debate goes, is that the index under the word "gress" links to the site a.com/b. It's not that Google USES a word index. It's that Google IS a word index. And you said that operating a word index was harmless. And here's how stupid your last paragraph is: All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, all men are Socrates.
