While this is generally true, there are counter examples, Google being the
most prominent, as I mentioned earlier.

The significance of Google is that it creates multiple layers of
abstraction/meaning/navigation/etc on top of data that may have *no*
metadata at all. IOW, you don't need to add anything to your data for Google
to "discover" things about it and relate it to others, thereby creating
potential navigation.
