If your definition was of use, they would have cited it. Where they stand in rankings with you is of no consequence to them. "Mathematical proof" is one of millions of articles they have; do you really think they are involved in some petty ranking war with an amateur with a history of unchecked results? Don't flatter yourself. > Do you think Google and I are buddies or something? No. But you are Google-hosted. I'd be more impressed if the search results were similar on other search engines, but for this to really mean something, I'd want to see evidence of actual human concensus, not something implied from a biased statistic. > How hard do you think it is to achieve that ranking for the definition > of mathematical proof? Not hard. It has been pointed out MANY times to you that careful selection of terms can manipulate search rankings. This is BIG business amongst advertisers. > It appears to be there over most countries in the world as well. > > What's your explanation? The explanation has been provided on numerous occaisions.

And folks have already shown that hitting #1 is easy AND YOU HAVE NOTICED THIS. Soon after, you appear to forget and go back to the same argument.
