This makes sense. For me, the main problem of Google is trying to retrieve a treasure out of garbage. While the Internet has a lot of good information, much (most) of it is incorrect -- sometimes on purpose as you suggest. I would be much more interested in a learning system that is able to retrieve information from authoritative sources such as books, for example.
