Plus those factors and their weightings would be changing on a very regular basis. Then there's also the personalization and localization layers of search. Would each user be able to see the weightings specific to them, or would Google just publish the general algorithm with weightings left unspecified?
Another open question is what degree of disclosure is being requested from Google. Suppose Google just give them the daily dump of weightings and such from the machine learning systems. Does that qualify as disclosure? They may have a hell of a time trying to figure out whether there is any bias in the system using that. They may just refuse to believe how complex the system is, and think that Google is being difficult.
