A comment on A letter about Google AMP. Parent comment

It's true that AMP doesn't affect organic search rank. What's misleading about that statement though is that Google displays a carousal specifically for AMP results.

They'll probably do away with the carousal eventually, but for right now an AMP page does have an advantage in search.

The carousal displays both, amp and non-amp content.

Does it? Then I may be misinformed (I very rarely use mobile).

If that's true, and amp doesn't have any preference in the carousal, then Google's comments are completely accurate.
