Notice carefully that the Google motto is "do no evil",
not "marvel at our perfection".

I, for one, would much rather have Google remain dedicated to
the goal of "doing no evil" even if it occasionally
falls short of the Olympian standard to which it is
regularly held, than have the company succumb to the
overt cynicism which asserts that if the company's record
isn't perfect it's the same as not giving a whig
in the first place so it should "disavow its motto"
and stop caring about it.

the mind boggles.
