I think that may be very easy to do, just state that everything you say is just a theory or your opinion... but this is just a theory.
Google's culture and hiring process is so well documented at this point, I suspect any suitably talented individual could appropriate some cultural fit.
Of the (current and former) googlers I know personally, they are a mixed bag but there are some traits that are more common. Self assurance and the uncanny ability to never be seen to be demonstrably incorrect are prevalent tbh - but that applies equally to most of the industry.
