yea, unfortunately this kind of thing happens in monopolies
that have no viable competition anymore... Sometimes I begin
to suspect that I'm seeing the results that I should want
rather than the results I want.

(Lucene has this property
too -- you get the results <b>the algorithm</b> wants you to get,
rather than the results you want to get.)
