It’s always listening. They don’t debate that.

Sure, no one is saying that. The point is that it doesn’t send anything other than the stuff after the keywords back to company servers.

Or what it thinks is a keyword. Correct.

Well, obviously it operates on what it believes is a keyword. It does not have magically divine insight. Are you trying to imply they make them overly sensitive? I don’t see the problem. Imagine the opposite. If they responded to less things they thought were keywords people would just think they’re broken.
