It may be the knowledge that /you/ are working with.  /I/ am working 
with different knowledge.

As stated in another reply, "I know / have witnessed multiple Google 
employees that have submitted and followed up on multiple GeoIP 
corrections."  So /I'm/ working with /1st/ /hand/ knowledge that Google 
employees /do/ /wanna/ /improve/.

For starters, any dissenting opinions or knowledge would be good to 
know.  Seeing as I have both 1st hand knowledge and dissenting opinions....

If it sounds like a herd of stampeding horses, moves like a herd of 
stampeding horses, and looks like a herd of stampeding horses, it's 
probably a herd of stampeding horses /except/ when it's a herd of 
stampeding zebras.

Hopefully you don't /need/ a DNA test to identify the difference between 
a horse and a zebra.  But hopefully you realize that your initial 
assumption that it was a heard of stampeding horses was wrong, and 
likely biased towards horses / away from zebras.

Opinions are only facts (in and of themselves) to the person that holds 
them.  {Your,my} opinion is fact to {you,me} but just {your,my} opinion 
to everyone else.

Also, opinions often to take everything into account.
