No but it’s their original mission statement, which is similar to that of the Mundaneum, and Google has failed at it.
Google’s metrics are based on increasing ad revenue. It doesn’t take a lot to see how that works against their mission statement.
Not every insight requires quantitative metrics to be useful or trustworthy and not every insight based on quantitative metrics is correct or superior: https://mcnamarafallacy.com/
Of course by now we can see multiple people in the comments who think you aren’t applying it properly.
As far as I can see you are just using a call for metrics as a lazy dismissal.

This is a discussion forum. You know - where people discuss things. Not everything is a ‘claim’ that has to be ‘substantiated’. Haranguing someone in this way is not what the site is about.
Again, read the thread. Nobody is supporting your behavior.
Here are some pointers from the site guidelines which may explain why:
> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
