Does Google get false positives (incorrectly detecting a mistake and “fixing” it?) or false negatives (failing to detect a mistake you make) more often? Is it possible that cognitive biases prevent you from giving Google credit when it fixes your mistakes? Is it possible Google has done extensive studies to find the preferred trade-off? Is it possible that your preferences are different than the average person because you’re an engineer?
I once was curious about this so I kept track of my Google searches for a week, and it was overwhelmingly the case that what it returned was what I wanted but not what I asked vs the other way around.
