I said it because it's... true? Well, in that this is what they announced anyway. Also, relevant to the post I was responding to.
So how is it downplaying anything? It's not downplaying it, it's not exaggerating it, it just... is.
Nobody is arguing with you on this being bad, friend. You just want to be mad at a shill and because you couldn't find one you're doing your bit at the first person that said anything other than "Google sucks" even if it was on an unrelated subject.
Don't do that. That's a bad thing to do.
