Roy has a search engine, ask him how simple the formula is. Besides,
while results surely have a big impact on who's the search leader,
Kelsey's examples don't show it. Kelsey's assuming that what he thinks
are the relevant results are what most people would agree are the
relevant results. There's no evidence to back that up. I bet 99% of
world would type in hot black body looking for porn anyway. Even
without the poor examples the point is trivial. Google is the leader
because they are the best(whether perceived or actual). It's the same
with anything else.
