Google is well known to do A/B testing, meaning you might not get a particular response (or even whole sets of results generated via different algorithms they are testing) even if your neighbor searches for the same thing.

So again, I ask how your anecdotal evidence somehow invalidates other anecdotal evidence? If your evidence isn't anecdotal, I am very interested in your results.

Otherwise, what you're saying has the same or less value than the example.
