Aw come on. I knew when I wrote the message I'll leave place for that 
semantic loophole, but I hoped you wouldn't be taking it so I didn't 
bother to preempt. Anyway... an employee spending time on a 20% project 
is a far cry from "Google is pushing Go". Anyone at Google could choose 
to do anything they please for their 20% projects.
