Schmidt was selling G+ as "an identity platform".

Schmidt, like any good CEO, will always always sell anything his company outputs. You'll never find him criticising anything Google does, maybe in retrospect but never upon launch.

My point isn't that he wasn't criticising, but that he was explicitly endorsing the "identity service" angle.

Maybe, but by the time it rolled out, Schmidt was gone. G+ is pretty much all Vic.
