Not all facts are of equal importance. 97 correct facts about, say, gardening, and three incorrect facts about first aid is not a successful system.&lt;p&gt;If Google is presenting the tool as a canonical source of truth, it needs to be right 100% of the time. In fact, being right 97.4% of the time is worse in many ways, as it lulls people into a false sense of security about how much they can trust the system. Get 97&amp;#x2F;100 obvious answers correct, then give someone wildly inappropriate advice when they ask something more &amp;quot;off piste&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;And let&amp;#x27;s not delude ourselves here, Google isn&amp;#x27;t doing this out of an altrustic desire to help people. They&amp;#x27;re making sure fewer people leave google.com, in the process starving the very sites they&amp;#x27;re getting information from of revenue. That should worry all of us.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; we are mandated by management and ownership to produce anti-google PR and provide a steady supply of ammunition to its critics.&lt;p&gt;This feels like an absurd criticism. Couldn&amp;#x27;t it apply to absolutely every negative thing written about Google, ever? Why should Google be immune from criticism?</text><parent_chain><item><author>dontnotice</author><text>Halfway down that piece:&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;A study this year by Stone Temple, a prominent analyst of the industry, showed Google’s search engine answered 74.3% of 5,000 questions, and on those answers it had a 97.4% accuracy rate.
