Then we simply disagree.


Some stuff is actually quite simple. Except Google doesn't let its search engine learn anything. Like basic geography, what cities are in what counties, etc.
I'm not convinced that you understand how the tech works and what the options are for representing information.

When you say google contextualizes it for a third party, you aren't properly using the word "third party". Because when I search on google I'm not a "third-party". "Third-party" is another audience, like an advertiser. If you mean google tries to make it better for advertisers, then yea, I believe that. Except that helps me naught.
But you *are* the third party. Google is the primary party. The source is the second party. Google are presenting the information to you, the third party - the party that is asking google for some part or select piece of information.


A simple search for going from Eunos, in Singapore, to the airport, brings up many results if you look up google maps transit. None of them actually have the most common and easiest way-just take the East-West line all the way, transferring at Tanah Merah.
Welcome to the world of automation. You're more than welcome to join any number of companies and show them how to code better. After all, it's apparently "simple".
