I feel like the single words referenced in the title are taken way out of context. The actual texts of these trainings unambiguously tell workers to not break the law, why the law is important, and what Google's philosophy is instead. That that includes not miscommunicating those intentions isn't a bad thing. None of this is ambiguous to anyone who has taken the actual trainings.

I worked at Google and I didn't get that impression. At no training I was told to not try to overtake the market, at many meetings PMs and directors were strategizing how to overtake the market, but the trainings were all about avoiding words (especially in writing) that could be seen as trying to establish the market dominance.
