Then why shitton of Googler and other people uses "opinions are mine"?

edit.
is this whole thread some peak of HN? when you're leaving your Google office, then you aren't magically stopping being Googler.
Same way with universities - if you attend e.g Harvard and then do a lot of shit even outside the school, then you should expect to be kicked or punished at best.
