what year are we in? have googles heuristics evolved to such an extent
that google now has opinions of its own? or are you reading things into
the ordering of search results that aren't actually there?

this was the reason for getting my imaginary friend freddie (who lives on
elm st) involved: no stats-based search engine will tell you what is a
reputable source (of data or metadata alike) and what isn't. hrefs imply
neither trust nor trustworthiness.
