>We are expecting google to feed us only the truth?

To be fair, that is how Google presents things like the snippets. There's no disclaimer for the answers.

Normal non tech users wouldn't know if these were automated and highly fallible, or manually curated and somewhat reliable.

Here's my go-to example, where Google says a quarter is worth 50 cents. https://imgur.com/a/oibA7

No disclaimer or indication that this is at best, a bad guess. Also, it's been this way for months and months, even though I post it everywhere as an example. I also clicked the feedback button quite some time ago and reported it.

I understand this case wasn't a snippet. But it was labelled "Top Stories" and probably carousel featured. That sort of thing, like rich snippets, implies Google is presenting it as something more than just a search result.
