Please point to the section of the paper you linked to that says Google believes that survivorship bias doesn't exist.

What are you not getting here? I was willing to believe that you were familiar with survivorship bias before and had just made a mistake, but now it's seeming as if you're not just completely unaware of it, but unwilling to even look it up. And doubling down like this comes across as incredibly obnoxious.

Why don't you write to Jake, Hilary, and Maria and see if they'll explain to you why the existence of their paper doesn't mean what you're now trying to argue?
