You step away from neutral as soon as you introduce "version of quality". There will always be an introduction of bias and judgement calls that need to be made to get useful results, especially because bad actors on the web are part of the geography that aren't going away. Just like the press trying to force a neutral "view from nowhere" leads to confused and problematic journalism that can be exploited by bad actors.

Indeed, quality/bias/judgement - I wouldn't argue about it wrt 'going away from neutral', I just meant that if a decision is to be made, either de-value it or show it in the top results, either way don't tinker with the information as it was laid out.
