On what basis do you think it's correct "99.9%" of the time?

Try this. Go to Google Search, and type in 'arrosto roast chicken portland' (without quotes). Note the number of results it claims to have.

Now page through the results. (Skip directly to page 10, then onwards as far as you can with each screen.) Note how many results you actually get.

You can do the same for just about any search term you like: the number of results Google will actually show you is far, far lower than what it claims to have.

Trust Google? Yeah, right.
