So because you were a) too lazy to understand the concept of differential privacy b) the value of using anonymized data and c) come up with a trivial strawman, that makes the whole concept of anonymization unnecessary and something that should be replaced by oversimplified factories?

How ignorant and wrong-headed. I'd recommend learning more about the concepts of k-anonymity and differential privacy before you prematurely presume impossible a concept that others (including Google) have been able to use successfully.

Are you ok?

Your professional laziness clearly has you in the wrong, and all you can muster is a snide, defensive "are you ok?"

I'd really advise you to work on that. There's a world of difference between "This is impossible" and "I can't be bothered to figure out how this useful thing others successfully do while managing billions of dollars of risk is possible." Otherwise, you risk professional stagnation.
