I am sure Google use human evaluators. We all know the "rate" function they all have internally so just counting the actual Google staff would be over the 10k mark (right?).

So the question is not so much if Google have such evaluators but to what extent its just part of what a lot of Googlers do - search Google, and how many are specifically hired as evaluators. Also, even if there was 10k external evaluators how much time do each put into it.

The equation is not that simple :)

If it's just stuff like this:

then I don't think there's any cause for concern.

but if it's stuff like

http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&rls=GGLB,GGLB:1969-53,GGLB:en&q=mesothelioma+more:condition_treatment&cx=disease_for_patients&sa=N&oi=cooptsr&resnum=0&ct=col1&cd=1

(note "Labeled by" under search results), then there appears to be more of a human impact on rankings.

Note: (beta testing and kicking tires...posting links...and long links...will ya take these? )

Paired up with TrustRank methodology, I don't think they'd need 10k of evaluators...

Then again, if you subdivide down by different countries/languages, it might not be quite so many per any one version of Google web search.
