"I've been mulling over the it'll-get-better argument for Wikia Search, which has struck me as problematic:

When he first announced the idea, Wales said the search engine would improve over time, much like the other project he [co]founded, Wikipedia, has.

It's seemed to me that, though it's expected PR, there's something subtly wrong with that comparison, and I believe I've figured out the error."
