It is also interesting to consider what happens when a large number of hits are found. 
The user would have to actually retrieve the files in order to determine if they are 
valid
or not.  So, you may spam a large number of queries, and much of it will go unnoticed 
in
such a situation, and this would further increase the apparent validity of the spammed
results.

At least, that is my understanding.
