yes, but google has a long history of being egregious, with the additional detail that their work is often irreproducible for technical reasons (rather than being irreproducible for missing methods). For example, we published an excellent paper but nobody could reproduce it because at the time, nobody else had a million spare cores to run MD simulations of proteins.

It's hardly Google's problem that nobody else has a million cores, wouldn't you agree? Should they not publish the result at all if it's using more than a handful of cores so that anyone in academia can reproduce it? That'd be rather limiting.
