The guy in your cartoon is obviously a moron. Most people realize that when they use Google the results are simply a rough pile of information that is only algorithmically relevant to their search terms and the results must be sifted and pruned by the searcher. When we start abdicating our good sense and editorial responsibility to Google we are all surely lost.
