What I find interesting is: "A knol on a particular topic is meant to be the first thing someone who searches for this topic for the first time will want to read." "Google will not serve as an editor in any way, and will not bless any content. All editorial responsibilities and control will rest with the authors." "we cannot expect that all of them will be of high quality." So Google is about to release yet another place for unedited and potentially incorrect information, it'll probably rank well (goodbye wikipedia), and they'll wash their hands of any responsibility for it.
