We do a lot of computer support around here, and it is uncanny how many times when walking a user through a particular procedure, they answer “I did exactly those same steps, and it didn’t work for me”. I know it is a defense mechanism, but it is apparently much more widespread than our experience. A good piece by Seth Godin.
Can you work with noise in the background, does it hurt, does it help? Can you work with vocals in the music? Sometimes I can, sometimes, I can’t.

Google wants to identify an authoritative resource for the answer to any query, so if what you are doing doesn’t help with that, you’re probably heading down the wrong path. A computer can figure out how to stuff keywords, an authoritative resource makes it sound good in English (or whatever the preferred language is).
Here are some examples of trying to find the “silver bullet”, rather than trying to work to be an expert.

Many moons ago, I completed a degree in Food and Resource Economics, and although most of this discussion is from the investor side of things, I find this concept intriguing. However, I’ve often joked that a Ag Economics degree (or Food and Resource Economics, depending on how recently you received it), is just a Business Degree with spoilage. That’s the part of this concept that gets difficult. It is possibly easier to move packaged goods (cereals, etc) in this manner, but the time sensitive nature of fresh foods, and cold storage and transportation issues of things like Milk and Ice Cream (what’s that leaking out of that Amazon Box 
), make grocery delivery much more difficult, especially across distances, and in small quantities.
That being said, it will be interesting to watch.
