New No.

If I want to ask my friend who's a Tolkien scholar (I have a friend who's a Tolkien scholar, actually) to annotate in the margins of my copy of LOTR, that's perfectly OK. So why can't I ask Google to annotate a page for me? They haven't forced it on me, so it's still my choice.

New Your point notwithstanding, it's still not the same.
That's what they call a red herring, son.

Also, there's a huge difference between taking your copy (which you've already had a chance to see unaltered) and asking someone to annotate, and having it done for you before you've had a chance to see the unaltered content as the author intended.

New That's the best point (IMO)
When you see the page, is it clear what the original page said and what Google added?

Making up a different argument to make a point about, because you can't win the one you're having... that's called something too, isn't it?

He said, "Listen, shrimp. Don't you come trolling around here." What a crab. This guy was steamed. I could see the anchor in his eyes.
