What we'll discover is there is a team dedicated to determining when to display the calculator. Then there will be another team entirely that picks how to interpret the query for website results. The two teams will never have met, spoken, exchanged information between the two. The team searching websites will mysteriously have never thought that someone might search a webpage for a math equation.
