Sure it will, for those with the wits to understand that I
was trying to show someone how he can *search* for the
information himself, rather than having to beg for others
to do his work for his.  Whatever results Google shows in
a few months is irrelevant... it's the technique that mattered.

If there'd been the slightest sign that you'd actually tried
to find the answer yourself before you asked, your criticism
would be far more effective.
