Certainly something wierd out of the Google Black Box of all algo's all the time. Wouldn't it be nice if Google gave explanation of this addition to its search experience. They do make many announcements about changes. This one is currently "anyone's guess". That is such an incredibly mysterious application.

The difference is both the important of the specific piece of info and Google's philosophical attachment to it. By that I mean that my sense is that Google perceives that the world has a right to leave a reiview and while theyight deemphasize it, I think they feel strongly that it should stay visible. As such they are unlikely to do anything much about it. On the otherhand I assume that they believe strongly that no business has the right to abuse the privelege of being ranked. As such a vote of not accurate might be used either as another signal in their fight agInst spa or as a possible ranking signal or minimally as a signal to reassess how the cluster is showing that information. @abbby
