Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find

…and the website should have all that information, right?

Sure, one option provides it immediately the other requires you to perform additional steps.
Guess which one’s going to be more popular amongst the general public? You’re not this obtuse are you?

Do you know how many scams happen because it’s ridiculously easy for anyone to edit the “knowledge” panel? I’d rather click an extra button and get the real number from the business’ own website than trust whatever is on Google.
“You’re not this obtuse are you?” – uncalled for, but, I guess you are who you are. So, you do you, buddy.

This is beyond stupid. The panel gives basic information, if you’re making anything beyond a decision to follow up based on that you deserve whatever you get. I also know how easy it is to manipulate the website. Information is malleable, it seems your brain is not.
