Note that I didn't say Google let businesses pay for reviews; all I said was that "I wouldn't be surprised" if Google let businesses do the spam filtering and flag reviews.

What I really meant is that I don't trust Google in this situation. That lack of trust still exists and is not a conspiracy.

And I _would_ be surprised if Google actually did the right thing here.

So all of your statements basically say that you think Google reviews are pay to play because you dont trust them to do something right. Sure, you have the right to that opinion.
