When I was a graduate student, my teacher taught me "Science is a private work,
and if you want to learn something from someone, you should first contact her/him
direct.  This is very important, and you should remember this all the time" (not the
original words, but this way).   I agree with him, and am keeping his words.

I don't know what google is doing, however, I suppose they must have
some criteria on what they are doing.   Furthermore, I think they are on a business
world, where there is a solid way to solve problems if any.

To contact someone in person is not so hard now, just write email, very easy. ☺
If he had done this way, there may have been no problem...

Above said, yes,  I think I can understand what you are saying.
This is a very difficult problem now.   However, I believe the way what human thinks
right will not change so easy in a long time.
