Am I the only one who had an issue with their example query of "give me all physics PhDs in NYC"? Are they really asking for a listing of all people living in NYC holding a PhD in physics? I can't shrug off the feeling that this is the sort of a request that The Terminator might make, just before filtering it further to those with the surname Connor. I for one feel that such queries should be somewhat difficult (at least beyond people who actively want to be found and put their credentials up on linkedin).

Key here is what is publicly available I think - agree though it's a fine line
