I have watched them change their algorithms to avoid such a think happening in the past. Much to the dismay of many SEO artist.
Something is not right and you have not explained it. Perhaps someone will enlighten us.

but Bing antiquated ? Hmm... antiquated for who... the person looking to manipulate search or the user in search of info ?
I know, you look at this from a SEO dog and see so few users on Bing it's not worth your concern . Perhaps that is why the results are more accurate for me, and I don't even like Bing for other reasons. But Googles dominance will not continue if this stuff keeps growing, no matter the reason.

I can only make judgement on my own experience, not others, many who rarely try anything else and would not know any better.
Why not stick to the point, you don't have a answer. Expanding the topic will not help.

I suspect a correctly drafted letter to the FTC may bring eyes to it. I was hoping someone knew the answer and would actually feel better if it was a deliberate act on google's part. Because otherwise, google is being used and nothing they can do about it apparently. How many might be next? What would the value of search be if it grows ? Anyone remember Yahoo skewed results 15-20 years ago.
Think on it different now.
