As per point 6, I wouldn’t take what was said there as a statement from Google, or potentially even an employee of Google. They did it as a throwaway .. anybody wishing to kick the hornets nest could have posted that, employee or not.

It's not written like someone trying to kick a hornet's nest. It's written like someone who has been conditioned inside of a culture that has begun to view the Web as a Google product on some level.

And if somebody was wanting to kick a hornets nest, that’s exactly how you’d want to write it :).

My point is, you cannot just blindly trust anonymous comments to be who they say they are, it’s an easy way to get yourself in trouble.

But if the comment was, say, digitally signed, on the other hand... ;)
