Don,

dictionary I trust for word information - I didn't need Google to direct me
to one; I have a few scattered around the house. When I need to buy a
dictionary I'll turn to Google first:-).

I don't understand that statement.
As far as I can tell, Google doesn't supply any factual information, it just
helps one to find sources which contain information, be it correct or
incorrect.
Don't evaluate Google for the accuracy of the information sources it points
to. Google was one of the first search engines which ranked websites by the
number of outside references to them. I think it still works that way, so
one might conclude that although is isn't a source of information, it's a
pretty good index to sources of information.
