Where is this precise criteria? Can anyone explain it for a layperson? While we all know it is the aggregation of many different algorithms at work, the results of those algorithms have consequences. Claiming that it's fine because the algorithm exists is begging the question.

If they have decided (consciously or not, because sometimes algorithms have unpredicted consequences) to not have something published then they are free not to publish it. It's not like it's a public service run by the government.
