I dont think comparing yourself to an average idiot on the street is what google should strive for.
The way it used to work you had one intelligent entity forming a query and a machine performing said query. Somewhere along the line Google got this idea returning no result was a bad outcome and started overriding queries. Its like you go to the hardware store and ask for nails, but shopkeeper starts telling you all about nail saloons in the vicinity because they ran out of finishing nails - or worse, goes nail saloon -> spa -> finishing -> ending -> happy ending.
We went from intelligent entity forming a query and a machine performing said query to idiot computer treating you line an idiot.
