People that write content for websites are not always the same people that build those websites. In this case, the search engine team is entirely separate from the Blogspot team.

Wow Seriously? You don't say.

Seems the irony escaped you: announcement was made on a Google site that forces (i.e redirects from HTTPS) you to read it over HTTP.

If you read closely enough it refers to all of Google, not just "the search engine team" or (Google - Blogspot).

Internet law: Your good post will be ruthlessly torn apart. Agreement is drivel. The best you can hope for is a slightly different point which happens to agree.

Btw, I agree with you, and I think this phenomenon is dumb.

Another internet law: Do as Google says, not as Google does.
