tl/dr: email chains used as evidence in DOJ Google antitrust case show internal arguments about drops in # of searches, and how to increase them so that people see more ads. Search team wants to create better search results to keep people coming back.

Advertising team wants to find any way to make people search for as long and as often as possible ("increasing the journey length") even if it means delivering less relevant search results.

You can actually read many of the trial documents here -

I think the blood loss and infection risk may be a problem. I think they may have speculated about it in academia though, not sure what the outcome was.

Yeah, and if you're that hungry that the meat would save your life, you're in no state to recover from such a devastating wound. Your immune system and ability to generate new blood would be severely compromised.

And then there's the added mental toll of coping with the lost limb and having to learn to use it, whilst you're already dizzy from hunger and blood loss, so any chances at other food would be much harder to exploit.

I think objectively it would make your situation much worse.

Oh that's right. Didn't think of that.
