Thank you Doc for liking this comment. When I re-read it, I suspected that some people didn't appreciate the phrase "proper emotion" or something else in there. In case that's true, I'll try re-phrasing my point:

tl;dr: Rejoice Doc and us fans, for Google's bizarre move means we're now winning!

Metaphor from literature: "Methinks, the lady doth protest too much". Google having some lackey edit the results for "mass formation psychosis" is the desperate lady who knows the jig is up.

Allegory from sports: In my youth, in my fishbowl, I was an elite athlete (basketball). This Google lackey thing is like our team falling behind by 30 points at half. Then, in the second half, we cut the deficit to 20. Our fans are getting excited.

Just then, the team in the lead (ie. Google and global predators), does something desperate, like committing a flagrant foul. Our fans goes crazy angry, and at the timeout, my teammates are aroused and angry.

I say: "Calm down, dudes. We have them right where we want them. They know we're coming back to win. That's why they did what they did. Now let's finish this off."

tl;dr: tl;dr: Rejoice Doc and us fans, for Google's bizarre move means we're now winning!
