C'mon, Google doesn't "punish" experimentation. Google X, Google Glass, Daydream, Fuschia, moonshots, the lab spinoff (whose name I can't remember)... hell, even all the abandoned products everyone here always complains about.

The experiments often/usually fail, but they do experiment.

The branches were dead and could bear no fruit. New branches will sprout next season.


For grapes, the conventional wisdom is to prune all the old branches at the end of each season.
