The original problem I was contesting and attempting to solve was that
users would think, incorrectly, that such messages indicated a problem
with Google. You seem to think users would think, correctly, that there
is a problem with the linked page. That's what they should think,
because that's what the message means.

Alas, as amusing as this discussion is, it's not relevant to the WhatWG
(and I apologize for participating). If you think search engine result
pages would be better if festooned with useless warnings, lobby your
favorite search engine vendor, or go start your own.
