This just reads like a teardown of another person. As a reader, I come away with very little. There is the faint hint of a defense of Google's processes against Noam's criticism, but no real defense is ever made. The entire counterargument is: Noam thinks aspect X of Google is bad, but Noam is a stinky doodoo head, so let's not take his thoughts too seriously here.

I'd ask you to consider whether it was a good use of your time to write this. It certainly was not a good use of my time to read it, but maybe this comment will make up for my mistake. I say this as someone who is sympathetic to the idea that many executives spend too much time huffing their own gases.
