So, you're telling me that even though I asked repeatedly for driving
directions from exactly the same address, and my Google phone confirms
that location exactly, and they deduce my age, gender, and so forth
from the data, that my name is a great mystery to them. They state
that they WILL correlate the data they collect with "other information
sources", some of which know exactly who I am. Maybe YOU can't do
that, but they can.

Perhaps very few... :-)
